How this is calculated

This checklist is not a lender decision. It is a structured preparation tool with visible source references.

The items above are arranged around the points that most often slow a first-home purchase: deposit readiness, grant assumptions, missing documents and unclear pre-approval timing.

  • Queensland grant and duty information. Start with the official Queensland Revenue Office material: qro.qld.gov.au.
  • Federal first-home support. Confirm current low-deposit scheme rules and postcode-cap guidance via the official government resources: firsthomebuyers.gov.au and homeloans.gov.au.
  • General borrowing guidance. Consumer-focused mortgage guidance is available through ASIC MoneySmart: moneysmart.gov.au.

All figures are planning information and can change. The checklist is most useful when treated as a preparation aid before a proper review.

Next, read the first-home buyer loans guide or use the borrowing-power calculator.

Planning checklist. Grant, concession and scheme rules can change and should be confirmed from official sources or with a licensed broker before acting.

Comparison rate warning. A comparison rate is based on a loan amount of $150,000 over 25 years. Warning: this comparison rate applies only to the example given. Different amounts and terms will result in different comparison rates.

Assumption set

  • Indicative only: calculator outputs and checklist prompts are planning aids, not credit advice or an offer of credit.
  • Loan estimates depend on lender policy, income verification, expenses, debts, deposit, LVR, DTI, credit history and current rates.
  • Government fees, concessions and grants can change; broker or RevenueWA confirmation takes precedence.
  • A written assessment or quote from the licensed broker or lender takes precedence over any figure or checklist item on this page.
