First Home Guarantee
Your Key to Home Ownership
At Baku Homes, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to own their dream home. That’s why we proudly support the First Home Guarantee – a government initiative designed to help eligible first home buyers enter the property market sooner with as little as 5% deposit, and no Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
What Is the First Home Guarantee?
The First Home Guarantee (FHBG) is part of the Australian Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme, managed by Housing Australia. Under this initiative, eligible first home buyers can purchase or build a new home with just a 5% deposit, while the government guarantees up to 15% of the property’s value—helping you avoid costly LMI.
