This calculation is not an offer of credit and is intended as a guide only.

Shared Equity Option: our calculators do not apply the customer income limit or the property purchase price limit. Please refer to the product specific information. The Shared Equity Option is up to 25% of the purchase price as a repayment-free and interest-free loan. 

The Advantage Loan is combined with another HomeStart loan that suits your situation. No repayments are required until you have paid your HomeStart loan portion in full.

* Fees and charges include establishment fee, valuation fee, conveyancing fees, settlement fee and government fees such as title search fees and stamp duty.
