Buying your first home feels easier when you have a coach
Our First Home Coaches (Sunlight Lending accredited) help you get clear on your budget, deposit & options so you can move forward without the stress.
Why a First Home Coach?
You’re not the only one feeling overwhelmed. Most first home buyers are juggling conflicting advice, changing policies and big decisions while trying not to make expensive mistakes.
A Sunlight Lending Accredited First Home Coach gives you a simple plan, explains things in plain English and helps you take the next step when you’re ready.
What a First Home Coach helps you with
1) Understand your numbers (before you waste weekends at open homes)
- How much you’re comfortable repaying (not just a maximum)
- How existing debts and expenses can affect your borrowing range
- What to tidy up before you apply
2) Work out your deposit and upfront costs
- Deposit scenarios (and what they can mean)
- Planning for costs people forget (legals, inspections, insurance, moving)
- A practical savings plan and timeline
3) Make sense of schemes and eligibility
- What may be available (and what’s eligibility-based)
- What typically impacts eligibility (price caps, location, property type, timing)
- What you may need to prepare
4) Build a smoother pre-approval plan
- What pre-approval is and what it isn’t
- How to avoid common pitfalls while you’re searching
- What documents are usually needed
5) Support through the buying journey
