Keystart

Keystart Gives you a head start into home ownership

Keystart is a WA Government initiative to help homebuyers get into their own home faster, by lowering the deposit needed to as little as 2% – lower than the deposit requirements of many lenders. Plus with Keystart the First Home Owners Grant can count towards your 2% deposit. If you qualify, that could be your entire deposit right there!

A Keystart loan delivers real value. With deposits as low as 2% you can get into your own home sooner. Better yet, you don’t pay Lender’s Mortgage Insurance or ongoing fees so you may save thousands over the life of your loan. Given the low deposit nature of the home loans, Keystart’s interest rates are based on the average of the big four banks and is designed for lower entry costs rather than offering the lowest interest rate on the market.

Keystart is a transitional lender. The aim is to help you into a home, not lock you into a loan. As soon as you’re financially ready, you’re free to refinance with a new lender. For more information about why you should choose Keystart, head to the Keystart’s website.
