Keystart Home Loans

Once you have made the decision to build, the next step is to decide on a lender that will meet all your home loan needs.

There are so many options available for financing your new home, meaning it is easy to become overwhelmed. Your individual circumstances are different to other people, so not all loans will be suitable.

Entry costs are one of the biggest obstacles for people wanting to take the plunge to build their own home, everything adds up.

Keystart has addressed this issue by creating low deposit loans, that also have no mortgage lenders insurance.

To date, Keystart has helped more than 100,000 WA households to realise their home ownership dream.

Keystart is unique in the home loan market. An initiative of the Western Australian Government, it was created to provide an affordable pathway into home ownership, for those who may otherwise not be able to even think about owning their own property.

With a minimum deposit from 2%, compared to 5% with other lenders, as well as no monthly account keeping fees or mortgage lenders insurance, Keystart is definitely the smart option.

All of these things mean that you will potentially be saving thousands of dollars over the term of your loan.

Keystart Home Loans also offer reduced payments during construction, and loans to those who have had defaults or previously been bankrupt.

There are a few boxes you have to tick to be eligible for a Keystart Loan, you must meet the following criteria:

• You must be 18 years or older and be an Australian Citizen Or Permanent Resident.
• Be living in Western Australia or are wanting to build there.
• Have an income that is within the Keystart Loans maximum limits.
• Must not own another home or land at the time of settlement of your loan.
• Plan to live in the home for the duration of your loan with Keystart.
• Need to have enough funds available to cover all costs associated with the purchase, including your deposit, fees and any moving costs.

One of the biggest advantages of getting a home loan through Keystart is that you only need a small deposit. In most cases you will only need a few thousand dollars to be able to start the process of building your new home, which certainly takes the pressure off your bank balance.

Although it may sound too good to be true, 30 years of having a great reputation, would suggest otherwise. The Keystart scheme has gone from strength to strength over the past 3 decades and has a default rate 30 percent below the industry standard.

Deciding who you would like to build your home is one of the most important decisions you will have to make in your life, as your home will likely be your biggest asset.

Just as important is which home loan lender to go with, and a Keystart loan is clearly the best option if you are building for the first time. The low deposit requirements make getting started, sooner rather than later a lot easier.
