House deposits are a core part of buying a home. But how important are they really? While most lenders will demand a 20% deposit for a new home, it’s becoming increasingly common for many home buyers to forego a deposit when purchasing their new home.
In fact, Darren Walters and No1 Property Guide are at the forefront of this trend thanks to Darren’s unique no or low deposit new home system. Using this system, No1 Property Guide has helped thousands of renters get into their own home, without needing the 20% deposit required by most lenders. The first step to understanding your factual options is to fill in our quick pre-qualification form. From there our New Home Consultants will be in touch to discuss how we can help.

Why Do Lenders Require House Deposits?
House deposits have some benefits, both for the lender and the home buyer. For lenders, it’s a way to mitigate risk, by having a bigger buffer in case you default. For you, it means a lower purchase price, lower repayments and less to pay back in total.
However, there are many downsides to these large deposits. Which is why Darren created his no or low deposit new home system.
How to Secure a New Home Without A House Deposit
While most lenders require 20% deposits, there are ways you can get a home loan without one.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)
LMI was created specifically to help home buyers get approved for home loans without a deposit. It’s essentially another fee you pay on top of your mortgage that protects the lender if you default on the loan.

Guarantor Loans
Guarantor home loans are another option to help get you into the market. Simply put, these are when someone, usually a parent or sibling, acts as a guarantor for the loan. It doesn’t have to be for the full amount, and many lenders will allow a guarantor to simply guarantee the deposit, or a fixed amount, to lower the risk.
Of course, this option is only available if you have someone to act as a guarantor. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to this. Which is why Darren created his no or low deposit new home system.
Darren’s No or Low Deposit New Home System
The best option if you want to get into the market without a house deposit is to contact Darren Walters and the No1 Property Guide team. With more than 20 years’ experience in property and finance, Darren knows what it takes to get into the market.
Darren’s system works through a combination of his unique pre-qualification process, combined with our full turnkey house and land packages.
By carefully assessing your situation at the start of the process, we’re able to get an accurate understanding of what you can and can’t do straight away. We primarily work off 2 pieces of information. Your income versus your debts.
If you have a high enough income to cover your existing debts and your mortgage repayments, then we can almost always help!
Following this, we begin the process of looking for land in your desired area. As well as a suitable floor plan and house design.
Darren has built close working relationships with all the major builders and developers over the years. Giving us access to the most prestigious estates and developments in the region.
This is also how we’re able to offer our fixed price, full turnkey house and land packages.

What is a Fixed Price, Full Turnkey House & Land Package?
A fixed price, full turnkey house and land package is a specialty here at No1 Property Guide.
Simply put, it means that when we hand you the keys, your new home is 100% ready to go. In fact, you can just ‘turn the key’ and move in!
What makes our full turnkey homes different from the rest is that they are truly that, full turnkey. Many builders will offer ‘turnkey’ homes that aren’t 100% ready to live in. Sometimes they won’t include a letterbox, clothesline, and sometimes even a driveway.
In these cases, you’ll need to pay to have these ‘extras’ added out of your own pocket. But with No1 Property Guide, we include these costs in your package right from the start. So you know that when we give you your fixed price. That is all you will need to pay. No hidden costs or nasty surprises.
What if I Have a House Deposit Saved?
If you have a house deposit already, great! Being able to put money towards your deposit is a great thing and will help you lower your overall loan repayments. One important thing to note, however, is how you got your deposit.
One of the lender requirements for a deposit is that the majority of it is “genuine savings”. This means that you, and anyone else on the application, had a savings plan and put money aside over time to save it. A gift from a family member generally won’t count as genuine savings. Some lenders may not be willing to include that in their assessment.
