The Family Home Guarantee is an initiative from the Federal Government to help single parents buy their home with a deposit of as little as 2%, without the need for Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Unlike the other Government Guarantees (FHLDS & NHG), this Scheme is available for eligible single parents regardless of whether they’re a first home buyer or have owned a property before.
Gateway Bank is delighted to be helping single parents to purchase their family home, while helping them save the cost of LMI.
Places for the Family Home Guarantee are limited. Please register your interest with Gateway Bank to secure your place*.
Please note that these places are in addition to the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme and New Home Guarantee with separate eligibility criteria.
In the 2021-2022 Federal Budget, the Australian Government announced 10,000 Family Home Guarantee places, that will be made available over four financial years to 30 June 2025, to eligible single parents with at least one dependent child, subject to their ability to service a loan. These parents are not required to be first home buyers.
The Family Home Guarantee allows eligible single parents to buy a home with a deposit of between 2% to 20% of the property’s value (eligibility criteria applies). The National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC), which oversees the Scheme, will then provide a guarantee to the lender covering up to 18% of the property’s value.
The NHFIC has appointed Gateway Bank to offer loans to be guaranteed under the Family Home Guarantee, which will support up to 10,000 loans over the next 4 financial years. Apply now to secure your Family Home Guarantee place with Gateway Bank.
