Home loans

To estimate how much you can borrow, borrowing calculators consider several factors, such as:

1. Are you borrowing alone or with someone else?
2. What is your income?
3. What debts, liabilities, and expenses do you have?
4. What are your loan terms? For example: 30 years

Lenders typically need a 20 percent deposit as it is considered a safe amount. There may be situations where you will need to provide more, but your dedicated home loan Lending Specialist at VOXFIN will inform you about this.

A 20% deposit will help you avoid Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) or a Low Deposit Premium (LDP). If you do not have a 20% deposit, find out how you can still purchase a home.

When purchasing a home, apart from your deposit, other upfront costs need to be factored into your budget.

Stamp Duty:

Stamp duty includes taxes and government fees that usually must be paid within 30 days of settlement. The amount of stamp duty is determined by factors such as the state or territory in which the property is located, the property’s price, and whether you are a first-home buyer or investor. It is essential to consider stamp duty as it is often the most significant cost after your deposit and mortgage.

Inspections (Building & Pest):

Before buying a home, it is crucial to ensure that it is structurally sound and free from pests like termites. This can help you avoid future costs and complications. Building and pest inspections should be conducted before exchanging contracts, and the costs may vary depending on the chosen provider.

Land Tax & Registration of Title:

When purchasing a property, you will need to pay a fee to register your property’s title with the Land Titles Office in your state or territory. If you buy the property from someone else, a fee is associated with transferring the title to you.

Legal or Conveyancing Fees:

A solicitor or conveyancer can assist you with the home-buying process for a fee, from reviewing contracts to transferring the title. This allows you to focus on settling into your new home while they handle the paperwork.

Mortgage Registration Fees:

State and territory governments impose a mortgage registration fee to register the physical property as security for a home loan. This officially registers the property as security for your home loan. The fees vary depending on the state or territory of residence.

Insurances:

Lenders typically require property insurance during the loan period. Homeowners may also consider home and contents insurance to protect against accidents, natural disasters, theft, and more. It’s important to carefully understand general insurance policies, including exclusions and factors influencing policy pricing, and seek independent financial advice if necessary.

Moving Costs:

After receiving your keys, you will need to pay for moving in and settling into your new home, including removalist expenses, utility connections, ongoing property costs such as council rates, and potentially strata fees and taxes.
