Home Loans

Finding the Right Home Loan for You

Purchasing a home is one of the most significant financial decisions most people will ever make. At Lexor Finance, we understand that finding the right home loan is just as important as finding the right property. Whether you are buying your first home, upgrading to something larger, or looking to invest in property, the home loan you choose will shape your financial position for years to come. Our role as a finance broker is to help you access home loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, compare what is available, and understand what each product means for your situation.

Understanding Your Home Loan Options

The Australian home loan market offers a wide range of home loan products, and it can be difficult to know where to start. At Lexor Finance, we work with a broad panel of lenders, giving our clients in Truganina, Victoria and across Australia access to home loan packages that suit different needs and circumstances. Whether you are looking at an owner occupied home loan or considering an investment property, the structure of your loan matters.

A variable rate home loan moves in line with the lender's standard variable interest rate, which can change over the life of the loan. A fixed interest rate home loan locks in your repayments for a set period, giving you certainty over your outgoings. A split loan allows you to divide your borrowing between a fixed rate and a variable rate, offering a balance between predictability and flexibility. Each of these home loan features carries different implications for your repayments, your ability to make extra payments, and your overall cost over time.

Principal and interest repayments reduce your loan balance with every payment, helping you build equity in your property over time. Interest only repayments cover just the interest charged each month, meaning your loan balance does not reduce during the interest only period. Understanding the difference between these structures is important when calculating home loan repayments and planning your long-term finances.

Home Loan Rates and What They Mean

Home loan rates vary between lenders, loan types, and individual borrower circumstances. The interest rate attached to your home loan will directly affect how much you repay each month and how much you pay in total over the life of the loan. At Lexor Finance, we assist clients with home loan rates comparison across our lender panel, helping you understand where rate discounts may apply and what the true cost of each product looks like when fees and conditions are taken into account.

The loan to value ratio, or LVR, plays a significant role in determining the home loan interest rate and conditions available to you. Where a borrower has a deposit of less than 20 per cent of the property value, Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is typically required. LMI protects the lender, not the borrower, and the premium is a cost borne by the borrower. Understanding your LVR and how it affects your home loan application is something Lexor Finance can help you work through before you approach a lender.

Home Loan Features Worth Knowing

Beyond the interest rate, home loan features can make a meaningful difference to how your loan works in practice. An offset account, sometimes called a linked offset, is a transaction account connected to your home loan. The balance in the offset account reduces the amount of interest charged on your loan each day, which can shorten the life of your loan and reduce the total interest you pay. A mortgage offset arrangement is particularly useful for borrowers who maintain a regular cash balance.

A portable loan allows you to transfer your existing home loan to a new property if you move, which can save you the cost and effort of refinancing. The ability to make additional repayments or redraw funds can also be valuable depending on your circumstances. Lexor Finance takes the time to explain these home loan benefits clearly so that you can make an informed decision about which product suits your needs.

Government Schemes and Support for Home Buyers

For eligible buyers, there are a number of government schemes that can assist with achieving home ownership. The Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, administered by Housing Australia, allows eligible first home buyers to purchase with a deposit of as little as 5 per cent without paying LMI, as the government provides a guarantee to the participating lender. Eligible single parents can purchase with as little as a 2 per cent deposit under the same scheme. No income caps or annual place limits apply.

The Help to Buy scheme, which opened to applicants in December 2025, allows the Australian Government to contribute up to 40 per cent of the purchase price for a new home and up to 30 per cent for an existing home, in exchange for an equity stake. A minimum 2 per cent deposit is required, and income limits apply. These schemes cannot be combined with each other, and eligibility conditions vary, so it is important to seek advice before making decisions.

In Victoria, first home buyers may be eligible for the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant on new homes valued up to $750,000, as well as stamp duty exemptions on properties valued up to $600,000 and concessions on properties valued between $600,001 and $750,000. Lexor Finance can help you understand which schemes may be relevant to your circumstances as part of the broader home loan conversation.

Alok was beyond helpful and fantastic to deal with from start to finish for our refinancing. Not only was he able to secure the maximum amount we required, but his customer relationship management software was exceptionally well set up, self-contained, and fantastic to use throughout the entire process. When we ran into a few inevitable hiccups along the way with our old lenders, Alok completely stepped up—keeping things calm, under control, and moving forward smoothly. He is an absolute professional and a genuinely great mortgage broker. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you have any lending or refinancing needs, Alok is your man. A+ service all round!

I would like to sincerely thank Alok for helping me secure my car loan at a much better rate than Toyota's financing. The entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free from start to finish. He took the time to explain all the options available, found me a competitive loan with lower repayments, and ensured everything was approved quickly. His excellent communication and dedication saved me both time and money.

Honestly, I went in thinking this would be just another process—submit documents, wait around, chase updates… the usual. But Alok at Lexor Finance completely changed that experience for me. From day one, he was on top of everything. He kept me informed, guided me through each step, and was always there to answer questions or give advice. It never felt like I was just another file—he really made the whole process smooth and stress-free. What I appreciated the most was how he stayed with me throughout, not just at the start. That kind of support makes a huge difference. Really grateful for the way he handled everything. I’d absolutely recommend Alok to anyone looking for finance—he genuinely cares and delivers.

Alok was very professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process of buying my first home. Being a first time buyer, I was very anxious and had a lot of questions. Alok was knowledgeable and approachable enough to answer any queries, which really showed his experience. Would definitely utilise his services again in the future!

Alok Shah is awesome at communication. He acted as our broker for the car loan. His communication and clarity is hard to match as I have compared him to 2 previous brokers I have dealt with and I can tell you that they were not even close to his working standards. He guided me on each and every step. Also how to deal with the car dealership as dealerships are know to delay after taking initial deposits. I hope that he stays like this so that a lot of people can benefit from his broking services. Thank you Alok ji 😊

Changez Shaikh

Alok from Lexor finance is the absolute man. Involved in conversations from day one since I started looking for a company car. He gave me advice on which cars to look at, was involved in negotiations with dealers (he knows so many managers at dealerships) and lodged my finance application within a day and had an answer in another two days. I honestly have no words for the level of service that I have received from him. Safe to say, I will never be going with anyone else ever again. The absolute best! Thank you so much Alok and Lexor Finance. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
