First Home Buyer Guide
A guide to deposits, borrowing capacity, buying costs and first-home buyer schemes.
Prefer to be walked through it? The interactive walkthrough covers the same ground the way I cover it in a session. This guide is the version you keep and share.
Your savings, income and property choice affect different parts of the purchase.
The goal is to work out whether you are blocked by cash, borrowing capacity, the property, scheme rules or the structure.

Discuss your plans
I can help check your deposit, borrowing capacity and possible scheme eligibility. To estimate your buying costs, use the cash-to-complete checklist, then put your price through my free cost to complete calculator.
