The New Home Guarantee, formally known as the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (New Homes), is an initiative from the Federal Government to help first home buyers to build or purchase a new home with as little as a 5% deposit without the need for Lenders Mortgage Insurance, also known as LMI. Gateway Bank is proud to be helping first home buyers get on the property ladder faster, while also saving them the cost of LMI.
Places on the New 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 with separate eligibility criteria.
In the 2021-2022 Federal Budget, the Australian Government announced an additional 10,000 New Home Guarantee places for the 2021-22 financial year, specifically for eligible first home buyers purchasing or building a new home. These additional places are known as the New Home Guarantee, or NHG.
The New Home Guarantee allows eligible first home buyers to build or purchase a new home with a deposit of between 5 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 15% of the property’s value.
The NHFIC has appointed Gateway Bank to offer loans to be guaranteed under the New Home Guarantee, which will support up to 10,000 loans this financial year. Apply now to secure your New Home Guarantee place with Gateway Bank.
