This might be more possible than you think

There's an Australian Government scheme built specifically for single parents. The Family Home Guarantee lets you buy with as little as a 2% deposit, and skip LMI.

Built for you

For single parents and single legal guardians with at least one dependent. You don't even have to be a first home buyer.

Skip LMI

The Government guarantees part of your loan, so you avoid an insurance premium that can run into the thousands.

Or try Help to Buy

The Government can take a share of the home with you, so your loan and repayments are smaller.

A word, parent to buyer. Plenty of single parents assume the door is closed. Often it isn't. The worst that happens from a quick chat is you find out where you stand. The best is you get the keys to your own place.

Questions single parents ask

Under the Family Home Guarantee, eligible single parents and guardians can buy with as little as 2% and no LMI. Whether you qualify depends on your situation, which is what a quick chat confirms.
