Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about mortgage brokers, ACT home buyer schemes, and the loan application process.
Are mortgage broker services free in Canberra?
Yes, our partner brokers provide their services at no cost to you. They receive commission from the lender when your loan settles. This means you get expert advice without paying a cent.
How do mortgage brokers get paid in Australia?
Mortgage brokers receive an upfront commission (typically 0.5-0.7% of loan value) and a trailing commission (around 0.15-0.2% annually) from the lender. This is why their service is free for borrowers.
What is the Home Buyer Concession Scheme in ACT?
From July 2025, eligible home buyers pay no stamp duty on properties up to $1,020,000, with concessional rates up to $1,455,000 (max saving $35,238). You must not have owned property in Australia in the past 5 years and live in the property for at least 1 year.
What is the First Home Guarantee scheme?
From October 2025, the First Home Guarantee lets you buy with just 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Place limits and income caps have been removed, making it available to more first home buyers.
How long does home loan pre-approval take?
With our network of brokers, you can typically receive conditional pre-approval within 24-48 hours. Full unconditional approval takes 2-3 weeks depending on documentation and lender workload.
What deposit do I need for a home loan in Canberra?
You can purchase with as little as 5% deposit using the First Home Guarantee (no LMI), or 2% with the new Help to Buy shared equity scheme. Without government schemes, 20% deposit avoids LMI.
Is it better to use a mortgage broker or go direct to a bank?
A broker compares 100+ lenders to find the best fit for your situation, whereas a bank only offers their own products. Brokers often access rates and products not available direct, and handle all paperwork for you.
When should I refinance my home loan?
Consider refinancing when rates drop significantly (0.5%+ difference), your loan is over 2 years old, your property has increased in value, or you want to access equity. A broker can calculate if switching saves you money after exit costs.
What is LVR and why does it matter?
Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) is your loan amount divided by property value. LVR above 80% typically requires Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Lower LVR often qualifies you for better interest rates.
What is the Help to Buy scheme?
Help to Buy is a shared equity scheme where the government co-purchases up to 40% of a new home or 30% of an existing home. Applications opened December 2025. You need as little as 2% deposit and earn under $100,000 single or $160,000 combined.
