Who this guide is for

Lakemba FHBs with deposit between 5%-15% who want to know their options — FHB schemes, guarantor structures, LMI alternatives.

The local picture

Most Lakemba buyers don't know they have multiple low-deposit pathways: First Home Guarantee (5%), guarantor loans (0-10%), Family Home Guarantee (2% for single parents), or LMI structures (5-10%). Each works differently.

For Muslim families wanting halal alternatives, the options narrow further but still exist.
