HOME LOANS, MELBOURNE'S NORTH

Home Loans Compared Beyond the Rate

A home loan is usually the largest debt you will take on, so the structure matters as much as the rate. Finleaf Finance works with first home buyers, upgraders and investors from our office on Emblem Way in Craigieburn. We start with your deposit, income, expenses and plans, then compare options from our lender panel.

You see interest rates, fees, repayments and features such as offset and redraw side by side, so the comparison goes past the advertised rate. We help you organise documents, deal with lender requests and follow the application through valuation, approval and settlement. If you are still setting a budget, we start there, with no pressure to apply.

THREE TYPES OF PURCHASE

Home Loan Options for Your Purchase

Lenders assess a first purchase, a next home and an investment property differently. Compare the features, costs and requirements for your situation before choosing how to proceed.

First Home Buyer Loans

Work out your deposit, borrowing capacity and purchase costs, including any Victorian stamp duty concession. We compare home loans and check whether the 5% Deposit Scheme could apply to you.

Next Home Loans

Selling one home and buying another means two settlements to line up. We review your existing loan, equity and next purchase together, including whether bridging finance is needed.

Investment Home Loans

Compare investment lending on rates, fees, loan structure and repayment type. We factor in your existing commitments and how each lender assesses rental income.

FAQs

Your Home Loan Questions Answered

Answers on deposits, borrowing capacity, Victorian concessions and preparing to buy. For guidance on your own plans and financial position, speak with our team.

How much can I borrow for a home?

Your borrowing capacity depends on your income, living expenses, existing debts, deposit and each lender’s assessment, which tests repayments at a higher rate than you will actually pay. An estimate is a starting point, not an approval. We show you repayments at different loan amounts.

Deposit requirements vary by lender, but a deposit under 20% usually means paying lenders mortgage insurance, which protects the lender, not you. Eligible first home buyers may buy with 5% and no LMI under the 5% Deposit Scheme. You also need funds for purchase costs.

A fixed rate stays the same for an agreed period. A variable rate can move up or down, which may change repayments. Features and restrictions differ between products. Some lenders also offer split loans with both fixed and variable portions.

No. Pre-approval is conditional and does not guarantee final approval. The lender still needs to accept the property and confirm that its requirements are met. Changes to your finances or the application details can also affect the outcome.

Yes, self-employed borrowers can apply, subject to lender criteria. You may need business financials, tax returns and bank statements to support your income. Requirements vary, and our team helps you understand what is needed for the options being considered.
Lenders commonly request identification, evidence of income, bank statements, details of expenses and debts, and information about your deposit. Property documents may also be needed. We explain the selected lender’s requirements and help you prepare your application.

In Victoria, allow for stamp duty unless a concession applies, plus conveyancing, building and pest inspections, and loan costs such as application, valuation and ongoing account fees. Lenders mortgage insurance may also apply. Budget beyond the deposit and the advertised rate.

Yes. The first consultation, to talk through your property plans and lending needs, is free. That doesn’t make the loan free of fees; we explain any service charges, lender fees and other costs before you proceed.
