A new house on a first home budget
Marsden Park is one of the more affordable places in the north-west to buy a new house, and the 5% Deposit Scheme lets eligible buyers get in with a 5% deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance.
Marsden Park is a new community of house-and-land estates beside the Sydney Business Park. It's one of the more affordable places in the north-west to buy a new house, and new homes come with specific loan rules. We handle them for you.
Most homes in Marsden Park were built in the last ten years or are being built now. That suits first home buyers chasing a new house and investors who want the tax treatment that new builds keep.

With the 5% Deposit Scheme, eligible first home buyers can start with 5% plus costs. Without it, most lenders want 10–20% to avoid or reduce lenders mortgage insurance.
During the build you usually pay interest only on the amount drawn. Full repayments start once the home is finished and the loan is fully drawn.
Yes. Some buyers 'rentvest' by buying an investment first while renting where they want to live. First home buyer schemes generally require you to live in the home, so we explain the trade-offs.
