First Home Builders

20% of the full value of the home has typically been the minimum for a deposit, however, it can also come down to particular lenders. Some lenders may only require that you have 5% depending on your individual circumstances, but a smaller deposit can also come with greater risk and you’ll need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if your deposit is under 20%.

You also need to be mindful of the other costs that come with buying a home, such as:
- Conveyancing and legal fees
- Stamp duty (you can avoid paying stamp duty by buying or building your first home)
- Mortgage registration fee
- Transfer fee
- Loan application fee

For first home builders, there are definitely a few key factors you need to consider, in order to ensure you’re making the best choice. Here are our top tips:

- Start by researching the builder’s reputation and looking for any customer reviews or testimonials that speak to their quality and reliability.
- Look for a builder who offers transparent, fixed-price packages so you don’t get lumped with any unexpected costs that could blow out your budget.
- Be sure to check out their home designs online to see if their style aligns with what you’re looking for, or better yet, visit a display village where you can get a proper feel for their workmanship.

By covering all your bases, you’ll end up with a builder who can build you a home without any hassle, just like Eden Brae has for so many satisfied families across New South Wales!
