AFFORDABILITY BUFFER

At MIK Solutions, we test repayments above current interest rates to ensure your mortgage remains manageable if rates increase in the future.

First Home Buyers FAQs

Some lending options allow first home buyers to purchase with less than a traditional deposit, depending on the lender's criteria and your financial position.

Lenders typically review income stability, employment history, and other financial commitments to determine how much you may be able to borrow.

Timeframes vary by lender and the documentation provided, but pre-approval can often be obtained relatively quickly when everything is prepared properly.
