What First Home Buyers Say About
Working With Peasy
First home buyers often come to us with questions, uncertainty and plenty of moving parts. Here’s what they had to say about the experience.
My experience with Peasy was nothing short of amazing. Joel, Vera, and the team went above and beyond at all stages of the process - thorough comparisons lenders and products for different purchase scenarios all the way through to chasing the lender to ensure settlement happened on time. Their customer service was second to none and made the stressful and confusing first home loan process as smooth as possible! To anybody considering whether to go via a broker versus directly to a lender - it’s a no brainer.

Paul S.
From our first meeting to all the emails, finding properties, to getting all the loan details finalised, the team at Peasy made this experience just so smooth and we have felt incredibly supported through the whole purchase process. Thank you for helping us into our first home, it is appreciated more than you know. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Margot B.
Even though I’m just at the start of my purchasing journey, my experience with Joel and the Peasy team has been fantastic so far. From our very first in-depth conversation, Joel has been patient, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer my many questions. I also had a great first call with Anita, their Buyers Coach, which has given me lots of clarity and confidence by removing a lot of the unknowns. Their guidance has been so invaluable, and I feel much more confidant continuing on. Highly recommend!

First Home Buyer Loan Questions, Answered
Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or preparing to buy, these are some of the questions we hear most often from first home buyers.
Peasy helps first home buyers in Australia understand borrowing capacity, deposit requirements, lender options, grants and government schemes that may apply to their situation. We also help explain the property buying process, not just the finance side of it!
Our goal is to help you make informed decisions before making major commitments.
The answer depends on the property price, lender policy, loan type and whether any grants, schemes or guarantor arrangements apply. Some buyers may be able to purchase with a smaller deposit than expected. We can help you understand what may be possible based on your circumstances.
Possibly. Different Australian lenders have different requirements when assessing new employment, probation periods and recent pay increases. If you've recently changed jobs, it's worth speaking with us at Peasy before assuming you need to wait.
It can affect how lenders assess your application, but it doesn’t automatically prevent you from obtaining a home loan. Lenders in Australia may consider factors such as return-to-work plans, income sources and household finances. As your trusted mortgage broker, Peasy can help explain how different lenders may approach your situation.
Many first-home buyers receive assistance through gifts, guarantees or family support arrangements. Depending on your situation, these options may help improve borrowing capacity or reduce the deposit required.
At Peasy, we can explain how these structures work and which lenders may accept them.
