First Home Buyer Loans: Turn Your Dream Home Into Reality

Are you stuck paying someone else’s mortgage through rent while watching house prices climb month after month? Feeling overwhelmed by deposits, stamp duty, and loan requirements that seem designed to keep you renting forever? Maybe you’ve been told you “need 20% deposit” or “don’t earn enough” by a bank that spent 5 minutes looking at your application.

Did You Know?

Thousands of Australians are buying their first home right now with as little as 5% deposit. The banks won’t tell you about all the first home buyer grants, schemes, and low-deposit options available because it’s easier to keep you paying rent than to do the work of finding you the right loan.

The good news? We specialise in turning first home buyer dreams into keys in your hand. From finding the right low-deposit loan to maximising your government grants, we’ll guide you through every step of the journey. Want to see what you could borrow right now? Try our borrowing calculator to get an instant estimate of your buying power.

First Home Buyer Solutions That Work

The banks are making first home buying harder than it needs to be. They’ll tell you to “save more” and “come back later” while you’re bleeding money on rent and watching prices rise faster than you can save.

At Trelos Finance, we’re experts at getting first home buyers approved when others can’t. We know exactly which lenders love first home buyers, which grants you qualify for, and how to structure your application for maximum approval chances. We’ve helped hundreds of first-time buyers go from “impossible” to “approved” – often with less deposit than they thought they needed.
Stop letting the banks gate-keep homeownership.

We’ll show you the path they don’t want you to know about.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I really need a 20% deposit to buy my first home?

No. In NSW you can buy with as little as 5% deposit, though you may need to pay LMI if under 20%.

In NSW, you may qualify for the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) and/or the First Home Guarantee Scheme and/or stamp duty exemptions or concessions under the First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme. We’ll guide you through what applies in your case.

This depends on your income, expenses, and debts. We’ll assess your borrowing power under NSW lending guidelines and show you what’s realistic.

LMI adds to your upfront costs, but it can also help you buy sooner with a smaller deposit. We’ll help you weigh up whether it’s the right move for your situation.

There are lenders in NSW who cater to self-employed and irregular income borrowers. We’ll help find the right lender and loan product for your circumstances.

Ready to Stop Paying Rent?

Every month you delay is another month of rent money that could be going toward your own mortgage. Property prices aren’t waiting for you to save that perfect 20% deposit, and neither should you.
