Picture: Getty.<\/p>\n<p>The Family Home Guarantee, which was first announced in the 2021 federal budget, allows eligible single parents to buy a property with a deposit as low as 2%, without having to pay lenders mortgage insurance. Under the scheme, 5,000 places will be available per year until June 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Family Home Guarantee works<\/h2>\n<p>Under the Family Home Guarantee, single parents could build a new home or purchase an existing home with a deposit of as little as 2%, plus costs, with the government guaranteeing up to 18% of the value of the property.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, buyers who haven\u2019t saved up a full 20% deposit, on top of other upfront costs, will generally need to pay for lenders mortgage insurance.<\/p>\n<p>This could help single parents to enter, or re-enter, the housing market much sooner and save thousands of dollars in LMI costs.<\/p>\n<h2>How it could help a single parent family<\/h2>\n<p>To explain how it may help, let\u2019s look at an example:<\/p>\n<p>A single parent hoping to purchase a $460,000 home would typically need to save a 20% deposit of $92,000 to avoid paying lenders mortgage insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Family Home Guarantee, and on the success of their application with a lender, they could secure the property with a 2% deposit of $9200 \u2013 on top of other upfront costs, such as stamp duty and conveyancing fees.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is eligible?<\/h2>\n<p>Single parents with at least one dependent child can access the scheme regardless of whether they\u2019ve owned a property before or not, however there are restrictions on income and property value.<\/p>\n<h3>You may be eligible for the Family Home Guarantee if:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019re an Australian citizen who is at least 18 years of age.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re a single parent with at least one dependent child.<\/li>\n<li>You didn\u2019t earn more than $125,000 in the previous financial year, excluding child support payments.<\/li>\n<li>You have a deposit of at least 2% to put towards the property, on top of other upfront costs such as stamp duty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What types of properties are eligible?<\/h3>\n<p>The Family Home Guarantee is limited to residential properties, and you must live in the property you intend to purchase. The scheme cannot be used for an investment property.<\/p>\n<h3>Eligible properties under the Family Home Guarantee<\/h3>\n<p>They must be residential properties, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An existing house, townhouse or apartment<\/li>\n<li>A house and land package<\/li>\n<li>Land and a separate contract to build a home<\/li>\n<li>An off-the-plan apartment or townhouse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Price caps for the Family Home Guarantee in each state and territory<\/h3>\n<p>There are also price thresholds for properties that can be purchased under the Family Home Guarantee, which vary in each state and territory, and whether you live in a metropolitan or regional area.<\/p>\n<p>These caps are reviewed annually by the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC) with the most recent thresholds set in July 2022.<\/p>\n<table width=\"624\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">State or Territory<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Capital city and regional centres<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Rest of state<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">NSW<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$900,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$750,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">Victoria<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$800,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$650,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">Queensland<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$700,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$550,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">Western Australia<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$600,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$450,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">South Australia<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$600,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$450,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">Tasmania<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$600,000<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$450,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">Australian Capital Territory<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$750,000 (all areas)<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"208\">Northern Territory<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">$600,000 (all areas)<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Price caps effective from 1 July 2022.<\/p>\n<p>You can search the property price threshold for a suburb or postcode on the NHFIC website.<\/p>\n<h2>How to apply for the Family Home Guarantee<\/h2>\n<p>Applications for the Family Home Guarantee can be made through participating lenders or mortgage brokers.<\/p>\n<p>A full list of participating lenders can be found on the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>There are no costs or repayments associated with the guarantee, however eligible single parents are responsible for meeting all costs and repayments for the home loan associated with the guarantee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: From 1 July 2022, 40,000 new places in the Home Guarantee Scheme became available for the financial year, made<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.7.1 -
