Hi everyone,
I’m looking to buy my first home early next year but i have no idea where to start and I know nothing about the process.
Does anyone recommend a mortgage broker in Sydney I can use? How much do they generally charge?
Thanks, Sal

Hey Sally, Check out this course. https://successfulways.com.au/courses/first-home-buyer/
My brother said it was really helpful when he was buying his first home. It’s in the Sydney CBD.

Hi Sally and welcome to the forum.
Most mortgage brokers don’t charge as they get commission from the banks. There is a large number on this forum if you head over to the finance section Corey Batt, Jamie Moore, Terry W and Ethan are some of the regulars who would be able to help.
Each state and territory has different First home owner grants. Check to see if you are eligible for NSW here http://www.osr.nsw.gov.au/grants/complete/fhog
The process will really depend on how you approach it. Have you already chosen the suburbs you would like to buy in? Do you know how much you can borrow already? What type of property are you after?
I’m a little bias as I’m a buyers agent but a buyers agent service would be able to help with the process. Apart from that this forum is a great source of information so any questions big or small don’t hesitate to ask.

Hi Sally
Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your exciting new journey into property.
Normal first port of call would be to assess your borrowing capacity and to make sure you have sufficient funds to be able to settle the eventual purchase.
Depending on the level of your deposit there maybe hidden costs that you were not aware of.
When this has been worked out then you can look at some of the features you might want from the loan itself and start to select a lender.
Don’t forget make sure you ask plenty of questions along the way.
Cheers
Yours in Finance
