Frequently asked
questions
Common questions about home loans, refinancing and working with a mortgage broker in Melbourne. Have a different question? Get in touch, and we’ll talk you through it.
How Much Can I Borrow for a Home Loan?
Most lenders will let you borrow around five to six times your annual income, but the real figure depends on your income, existing debts, living expenses, deposit size and the interest rate on offer. Two lenders can assess the same applicant and arrive at borrowing limits tens of thousands of dollars apart, which is why a single bank’s answer is rarely the whole picture. The practical approach is to estimate the number yourself, then have a broker confirm it against real lender criteria.
Get an instant estimate with our borrowing power calculator, one of more than 20 free calculators covering repayments, loan comparison and extra repayments. From there, we’ll assess a broad range of loan products to find the right match for your circumstances.
When Should I Consider Refinancing My Home Loan?
It’s usually worth reviewing your loan if your current rate is no longer competitive, your fixed term is ending, you want to consolidate debt, or you’d like to access equity for renovations or investing. Refinancing means replacing your existing home loan with a new one, often to secure a sharper rate, lower your repayments or unlock features your current loan doesn’t offer. A quick review can show whether the savings outweigh any switching costs. Our home loan refinancing page explains the process step by step and how we compare lenders to find you a better deal.
Want to see the numbers first? Use our loan comparison calculator to compare the true cost of your current loan against a new one.
How Much Deposit Do I Need to Buy a Home?
Most lenders look for a deposit of around 20% of the purchase price to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance, but plenty of borrowers get approved with less. With a smaller deposit, you may still qualify through LMI, a guarantor arrangement, or a government scheme designed for eligible buyers. What matters is the full picture: your savings history, income stability and existing commitments all feed into how lenders assess you.
If you’re saving towards a purchase, our first home buyer page will explain what you’ll realistically need.
Can I Use the Equity in My Home?
Often, yes. Equity is the difference between what your property is worth and what you still owe on it, and once you’ve built up enough, you may be able to access it to fund a renovation, buy an investment property, or consolidate higher-interest debt. Lenders typically let you borrow against equity up to 80% of the property’s value without paying LMI, and they’ll reassess your borrowing capacity before releasing it. So it’s worth checking your position before you commit to anything.
Our home equity loan page covers how equity release works in more detail.
How Can I Pay Off My Home Loan Faster?
The most effective levers are switching to fortnightly repayments, making extra repayments when you can, and parking your savings in an offset account. Fortnightly repayments alone effectively add one extra monthly payment a year, because you make 26 half-payments instead of 12 full ones. Every extra dollar comes off the principal, which reduces the interest charged for the entire remaining life of the loan. That is why small extra repayments made early are worth far more than larger ones made later.
Run the numbers with our extra repayments calculator to see how much time and interest you’d save, or get in touch, and we’ll personally model a few scenarios with you.
What Types of Home Loans Are Available?
There is no single ‘best’ home loan, only the one that suits your circumstances. Common options include variable rate loans, fixed rate loans, split loans, interest-only loans, low-doc loans for self-employed borrowers and construction loans for new builds. Each comes with different trade-offs around flexibility, repayment certainty and features like offset accounts and redraw. We’ll explain the differences in plain language and match the loan type to how you actually plan to use the property.
Our different loan types page breaks down each option side by side.
Can I Get a Home Loan With No Deposit or a Guarantor?
A true no-deposit loan is rare, but you don’t always need the full 20%. A guarantor loan lets a family member use the equity in their own property as additional security, which can get you approved with little or no deposit and avoid LMI entirely. Some buyers also qualify for government schemes that reduce the deposit required. The trade-off with a guarantor arrangement is real: your guarantor is legally liable for the guaranteed portion if you default, so it needs to be entered into with clear eyes.
Learn more about guarantor home loans.
I’m Buying My First Home. Can You Help With Grants and Schemes?
Yes. First home buyers often qualify for government grants and schemes, and a broker helps you understand which ones you’re eligible for and how they affect your deposit and borrowing power. We guide first home buyers through the whole process, from working out a realistic budget to navigating available concessions and fast-tracking approval. Learn more with our free first home buyers guide to get started.
Do You Arrange Loans for Property Investors?
Yes. Whether you’re buying your first investment property or adding to an existing portfolio, the right loan structure can make a real difference to your returns and cash flow. We help investors compare loan products, weigh up features like offset accounts and interest-only options, and structure finance to support their goals. You can read more on our investing in property page.
