Capacity

This refers to the home buyers borrowing power and capacity to make repayments through your income, living expenses and any debts you have.

This is your financial conduct and credit history as a borrower in the past.

NSW Stamp Duty for First Home buyers

The NSW government has increased the threshold for stamp duty exemption for first home buyers from $650,000 to $800,000 for newly built homes and from $350,000 to $400,000 for vacant land.

Depending on what your property is worth, you could be looking at paying less or being exempt from paying stamp duty fee.

In the First Home Super Saver Scheme, as a first home buyer, you can use your super account to save for a home deposit. This scheme is run by the ATO and it is an initiative to help first home buyers save faster by allowing you to withdraw voluntary contributions you’ve made to your superannuation account.

You can either make before-tax or after-tax contributions to your super account, with the maximum amount capped at $30,000.

Mortgage Brokers Arrange More Than Half of All Residential Home Loans

What is that?

As mortgage brokers with access to over 40 lenders on our panel, we can typically negotiate a much sharper interest rate than if you were to go to the bank directly.

The great thing about a mortgage broker is that even if you don’t fit into all the pretty little boxes of the lending policies of major banks, Mintwell brokers can comprehensively assess your situation, for free, and come back to you with multiple options.
