PERTH MORTGAGE BROKER ยท FIRST HOME BUYER SPECIALIST

You're closer to your first home than you think.

Most Perth first home buyers overestimate what they need by years of saving. Between WA's grants, stamp duty exemptions and low-deposit schemes, the real number might surprise you.

13+ years in WA lending ยท Backed by Finance 365 ยท My service costs you nothing โ€” lenders pay me, not you

2%

Keystart deposit

WA's own lender. From a 2% deposit with no Lenders Mortgage Insurance โ€” built for buyers the big banks say no to.

Think you need a 20% deposit? You probably don't.

$120,000 from $12,000

On a $600,000 Perth home, the standard 20% deposit is $120,000. Here's what WA first home buyers can actually use right now:

5%

5% Deposit Scheme, zero LMI

The government guarantees the gap, so you skip $20,000+ in LMI. No income caps, unlimited places since October 2025.

THE DEPOSIT MYTH

$0

Stamp duty + $10k grant

No stamp duty on homes up to $600,000, and a $10,000 First Home Owner Grant if you're building new.

Scheme details current July 2026. Eligibility criteria apply โ€” I confirm exactly what you qualify for.

1

Free Readiness Check

Ten minutes. I look at your income, savings and goals, then tell you your real borrowing power and which grants and schemes you qualify for โ€” before you start scrolling listings.

From 'can we even do this?' to keys in hand

2

Your buying plan

A clear plan: the right lender, the right schemes stacked correctly, and if you're not quite ready, the exact steps and timeline to get there. No judgement, no pressure.

HOW IT WORKS

3

I handle the rest

Applications, grant paperwork, lender negotiations, settlement chasing โ€” my job. Yours is choosing the home. I'm one phone call away the whole time.

What I help with

First home buyers are my specialty โ€” but not the only door I open.

MY SPECIALTY

First Home Buyers

Keystart, the First Home Owner Grant, the 5% Deposit Scheme, stamp duty exemptions โ€” and the lender who'll actually say yes to your situation. I've spent 13 years getting Perth first home buyers over the line, and I love this part of the job.

Refinancing

Fixed rate ending? Rate not moving with the RBA? I'll tell you honestly whether switching is worth it โ€” sometimes it isn't, and I'll say so.

INDEPENDENT ADVICE

Construction Finance

Building your own home? I work for you, not your builder. Progress payments structured properly, land and build coordinated, no sales-office pressure.

REAL CLIENTS, REAL KEYS

What first home buyers say

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Ian and Carlee were absolutely amazing to work with โ€” so informative, helpful, and always kept us up to date. Even when we faced stressful issues with a builder, thanks to Ian's guidance we got the finance we needed and are now building our amazing first home.

WHY A BROKER โ€” AND WHY ME

The bank works for the bank. I work for you.

A bank can only offer you its own products. I compare across dozens of lenders โ€” including ones you've never heard of that happen to love first home buyers โ€” and I'm paid by the lender, so my service costs you nothing.

I'm Perth based, self-employed, and backed by Finance 365's compliance and lender panel. When you call, you get me โ€” not a call center.

My service is free to you โ€” lenders pay my commission and I disclose it

โœ“

One point of contact from first chat to settlement day (and after)

โœ“

Scheme stacking done properly โ€” grants, duty exemptions and low-deposit loans combined the right way

โœ“

Honest answers โ€” including 'not yet, and here's your plan to get ready'

โœ“

Find out where you stand โ€” in ten minutes.

No cost, no obligation, no judgement. Just your real borrowing power, your deposit position, and which WA schemes are yours for the taking.
