With our new property price limits and increased income limits, now is the time to be your own landlord.
With rising interest rates, a strong local property market and increased cost of living, we know the deposit barrier to home ownership has been even higher in recent times. Our home loans lower this barrier with deposits as low as 2% and no lender's mortgage insurance.
