iLender offer the best mortgages for first home buyers
New to the mortgage market? Don’t worry, we’re not. At iLender, we’ll answer all your questions, helping you into your first home as quickly as possible.
Getting Started with Your First Home Loan
If you’re wondering what you can afford, the kind of deposit needed, if you can get help from family, whether you get a loan even if you have bad credit, or what the difference is between fixed and floating rates – we have all the answers and are here to help.
Our mortgage experts offer special products to help you achieve your dream of owning a home. We help you understand the changes in loan-to-value restrictions and what this may mean for you and your first home mortgage (and how we get better rates from the Bank!)
First Home Buyers Loan Application
Four easy steps to get your mortgage sorted.
- Home Loan Application: Apply online or over the phone, with basic information such as income, current debts, and deposit abilities.
Whether you have perfect credit or not, (not everyone has a perfect track record and we have great mortgages for those with bad credit or arrears) give us a call to find out what we can do for you. We’ll advise you immediately of all your options and get you on the path to home ownership fast.
- Pre-Approval: When the Bank says “We like this deal” we get a written offer outlining the conditions, home loan size and rates indication. Then you can go house hunting with confidence.
- Conditional approval: The Bank has seen the whole deal, including property, almost ready to go.
- Unconditional Approval: When the Bank says “Yes” formally – start packing!
- Settlement: The big day! Home loan funds are released from the Bank to your Solicitor and you can move right in.
Make sure any required insurances are in place and get ready to enjoy your first night ‘at home’.

"Our bank of 10+ years couldn't get the job done. Jeff and his team did it in two weeks, absolutely hassle free. Really need an option for a 6 star rating as the type of personalised service you receive from iLender just doesn't exist anywhere else."

"I am a first home buyer, who had been battling for 7 months to secure a home for my family and I. Jeff was my third try at a mortgage broker/banker, and by the time I got to Jeff I'm just thinking about giving up, this is just too hard. Jeff brought assurance and calmness to my situation straight away. He answered all my questions with clarity, and without hesitation or annoyance. Just shy of 4 weeks since working with Jeff, I am now a home owner. I cannot recommend him enough!! Thank you for all your help Jeff."
