Other ways we can help you

Our First Home Buyer Help Hub

Our First Home Buyer Help Hub gives you access to the right tools and support to help with your home buying journey. The help hub includes information on First Home Owner Grants, common home loan jargon explained and what to do if your loan is not approved. 

First Home Buyer Help Hub

Buying land and build loans

If you’re looking to purchase vacant land or build a new home rather than purchase an established property, we have options that may be suitable.

Construction Loans are different from a regular home loan because the funds are paid gradually to your builder as progress payments. While your property is getting built, your repayments are set as interest only to help you manage your budget.

Simply let us know of your plans to build when you apply for a home loan and we'll help you through the process.

What if my application gets knocked back?

It can be disheartening to find out a loan for your first home is not approved. Visit our First Home Buyer Help Hub for more information on what to do if this happens. It covers considerations such as having a family member act as guarantor for you via our Family Guarantee option, and outlines how we can help you manage your budget to keep your home buying journey moving forward.

Seeking pre-approval

Heritage Finance Holdings offers a pre-approval process to help give you some peace of mind when you’re wanting to make an offer on a property.  

Enquire online, visit your local branch or phone 13 14 22 to find out if you qualify for a pre-approval or learn more about how pre-approval can help you.
