Home Loans Guide for First-Time Home Buyers

Giving you peace of mind, from start to finish

Achieve Your Homeownership Dream with Confidence

Buying your first home is one of life's most exciting milestones—but it can also feel daunting and complex. At Viking Mortgages we're dedicated to guiding first-time home buyers through every stage, turning confusion into clarity and stress into a celebration. We specialise in creating personalised home loan solutions, designed specifically to simplify your journey and help you confidently step into your first home.

Understanding the Home Buying Journey

Your journey towards homeownership begins with understanding how the home loan process works. Our experienced team at Viking Mortgages is here to clearly explain every step—from pre-approval and selecting your home, right through to settlement.

We start by helping you understand your financial situation and borrowing capacity. This involves reviewing your income, assets, liabilities, and credit history. Knowing exactly how much you can comfortably afford ensures that your first home is both a practical choice and an exciting one.

Next, we take you through the various loan options available to you. At Viking Mortgages we have strong partnerships with over 30 lenders, which means you benefit from a broad range of choices and the best available terms. Whether you’re looking for a straightforward loan or a customised solution tailored to specific financial needs, we'll clearly explain every option, enabling you to make confident decisions.

Navigating Government Grants and Incentives

First-time home buyers in Australia have access to various government grants, concessions, and incentives that significantly reduce the upfront costs associated with buying a home. These can include First Home Owner Grants, stamp duty discounts or exemptions, and the First Home Guarantee scheme. At Viking Mortgages we provide clear, expert guidance on these opportunities, helping you understand your eligibility and maximising the financial benefits available to you.
