If you don't have that amount already saved you can use the First Home Owners' Grant to cover the deposit and any loan fees. The balance of the Grant can be used for other purposes.
You'll also welcome how we assess
your income. Keystart can be
more flexible than traditional financial institutions when it
comes to assessing income. For instance: we take into account
all your earnings including wages, salary, family tax benefit, Centrelink payments
and child maintenance received. (Please note that some of this income will not be used once your child turns 12 years old).
Our flexibility for assessing income
also extends to making special calculations for people in part-time
or casual employment and those whose income is in the form of
regular commission.
The maximum assessed income for eligibility is $120,000 per household and the interest rate is variable, which at 19th April 2009 is at 4.99 per cent per annum. Click here to download Comparison Rate Schedules.

Home Owners Grant

Grant provides you with $7000 to help purchase your first home.
The grant is not a loan and does not need to be repaid. You can
use the Grant to cover your deposit and loan fees. (Not available
on land only loans). The balance
of the Grant can be used for other purposes. For further information
on the First Home Owners Grant, click

What if you are not eligible for
a grant?
People who are not eligible for a
First Home Owners Grant may borrow up to $2000 for assistance
with fees,
as long as the total amount borrowed does not exceed the amount
for which their assessed income makes them eligible. (Not available
on land only loans).
