For first home buyers, understanding the financial landscape is crucial. One of the initial steps is determining your borrowing capacity, which will guide your home buying budget. We assist you in assessing your credit history and loan amount, ensuring that you’re well-prepared when applying for a home loan. By evaluating your financial situation, we help you check eligibility to access lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) waivers, which can significantly reduce upfront costs. Furthermore, we guide you through the application process to access first home owner grants (FHOG), offering a financial boost as you embark on purchasing your first property.

Additionally, interest rate discounts are often available through our strong relationships with lenders, potentially saving you money over the life of your loan.

Understanding the Lending Process at Relax Home Loans

Step 1: Discovery Conversation

At Relax Home Loans, we begin your home loan journey with a friendly, in-depth conversation with your dedicated broker.

We dive deep to get a complete picture, then start researching loan options tailored just for you. Our mission is to keep the process simple and stress-free, so we can get started as quickly as possible for you.

Step 2: Financial Assessment

With care and expertise, we thoroughly review your financial situation—your income, savings, assets, liabilities, and credit history.

Your broker presents a handpicked selection of loan options from trusted lenders, tailored to your goals—be it a fixed-rate, variable-rate, offset, interest-only repayments, or a bridging loan. We break down the pros and cons of each approach in plain language. At Relax Home Loans, we aim to go above and beyond to ensure you feel empowered to make a decision that’s clearly in your best interest.
