First Home Guarantee

The First Home Guarantee (FHBG) is an Australian Government initiative to help first home buyers buy their first home. Eligible first home buyers can buy or build a home with a deposit of as little as 5% (lenders criteria apply). The government guarantees 15% of the home so eligible buyers do not need to pay the traditional Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

FHBG eligibility requirements:

  • You haven’t previously owned or had an interest in a property in Australia, in the last 10 years
  • You’re an eligible first home buyer
  • You’re an Australian citizen or Permanent Resident
  • You’re 18 years of age, or older
  • You possess a deposit of at least 5% in genuine savings
  • You meet both income and property price threshold requirements
  • Applying as an individual, couple (married/ de facto), or joint application with friends and family.
