New Homes Guarantee Scheme

ScoMo is your guarantor

Still saving for your first home?
No need, we’ve got the solution

Have you been busy manifesting your dream home but can’t quite get those savings in orders (we get it, daily coffees are totally essential.)? Luckily the Gov’ has come to your rescue with the New Homes Guarantee Scheme.

You know how your parents can go guarantor for your home if you don’t have a 20% deposit and don’t want to pay pesky LMI? Well with the New Homes Guarantee Scheme ScoMo will go guarantor for you. You just need to put in 5% of the purchase price, and he’ll cover the other 15%.

Cheat sheet: New Homes Guarantee Scheme

Ok, time to get the lowdown on all things New Homes Guarantee Scheme. When you purchase a property, you generally need 20% deposit or you’ll need to pay the bank a couple of grand in LMI, on a $450k loan with 5% deposit you’d be looking at over $13k in LMI. Yikes. But if you get a spot on the New Homes Guarantee Scheme the bank will waive the LMI costs as the Government is your guarantor. Basically, you’ll save a helluva lotta moolah.
