First Home Buyers

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, yet it can often feel overwhelming with the myriad of options and decisions to consider. At Premier Path Finance, we specialise in guiding first home buyers across Melbourne, Victoria, and Australia through the complexities of applying for a home loan. Our goal is to help you access Home Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, ensuring you find the best fit for your financial situation. Whether you're curious about first home owner grants (FHOG) or wondering how to check eligibility to access lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) waivers, our team is here to assist every step of the way.

When it comes to buying your first home, understanding your borrowing capacity is crucial. This not only involves evaluating your credit history and current financial situation but also ensuring you have a clear picture of the loan amount you can afford. With our expertise, you can explore various interest rate options, including fixed and variable interest rates, and decide which aligns with your long-term goals. We also provide insights into interest rate discounts that might be available, helping you manage your repayments more effectively.

A significant aspect of applying for a home loan is understanding the loan to value ratio (LVR), which affects both the loan amount and potential lenders mortgage insurance requirements. At Premier Path Finance, we assist you in assessing your LVR and advise on strategies to optimise your application. This includes helping you gather necessary documents like bank statements and guiding you through a streamlined application process. Our comprehensive approach ensures that you are well-prepared to apply for a home loan with confidence.

First home buyers may also benefit from exploring first home owner grants (FHOG) and potential stamp duty concessions available in your state. These incentives can significantly reduce the initial costs of buying a home. Additionally, for those considering future property investments, understanding investment loan options is valuable. We provide advice on how to apply for an investment loan and navigate the application process for purchasing your first investment property.

At Premier Path Finance, we pride ourselves on offering access to banks and lenders nationwide, ensuring you have a wide array of choices when selecting a home loan. Our services go beyond just securing a loan; we help you establish an offset account to manage your funds effectively and offer guidance on getting pre-approved for your first home loan.

“Every client’s journey is unique - whether you're buying your first home, refinancing for a better deal, or unlocking equity for future plans. Our lending process is designed to be simple, transparent, and tailored to your needs.”

Lending Process:

Step 1: Let’s Talk

We begin with a relaxed conversation to understand your goals - whether it’s buying property, restructuring your loan, or unlocking equity. We’ll explore your financial situation and outline lending options that suit your needs. You'll also get clarity on key concepts like interest rates, loan-to-value ratio (LVR), and lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), where relevant.

Step 2: Financial Snapshot

We assess your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities to determine your borrowing capacity. This helps us tailor a strategy that aligns with your goals and highlights any eligibility for lender discounts or government schemes.

Step 3: Smart Loan Matching

Based on your financial profile and objectives, we’ll curate a shortlist of loan options from trusted lenders. Whether you're after a lower rate, flexible features, or access to equity, we’ll explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make a confident decision.

Step 4: Pre-Approval or Loan Structuring

If you're purchasing, we’ll guide you through pre-approval to strengthen your position in the market. For refinances or top-ups, we’ll structure the loan to meet your goals and prepare the necessary documentation for submission.

Step 5: Formal Approval & Settlement

Once your loan is approved, we’ll walk you through the contract, clarify the terms, and coordinate with any third parties (e.g. solicitors or lenders) to ensure a smooth transition - whether it’s settlement, refinance, or equity release.

Step 6: Ongoing Support

Our relationship doesn’t end with approval. We’ll continue to support you with loan reviews, refinancing opportunities, and future lending needs. We’re here to help ensure your loan stays competitive and aligned with your evolving goals.
