  It's important for first timers to understand what's actually needed to obtain a home loan, says Warren O'Rourke, national manager with Mortgage Choice. "What first homebuyers don't realise," says O'Rourke, "is that applying for a mortgage can be much easier than they expect. "For anyone planning to buy property, ,right now' is the best time to start researching because you may find there are more options available than you realise. "We have seen some people save and save over many years only to find they could have entered the market earlier without much , or any , deposit."
  
  In fact, some lenders offer ,100 per cent' or ,no deposit' home loans, where borrowers with good ,serviceability' , the ability to make loan repayments , only have to put forward a small part of the loan amount, mainly covering costs such as stamp duty and legal fees."There's even what's called a ,105 per cent' loan which covers the property's purchase price plus all other costs," he says.O'Rourke says borrowers need to be aware that these low, and no deposit, loans tend to attract a higher interest rate.
  ...
  O'Rourke says borrowers also need to be aware of what ,low doc' and ,no doc' loans are.

  Mortgage Choice National Corporate Affairs Manager, Warren O'Rourke said that fixed rate loan products had become more expensive in recent months, making them less appealing than they were six months earlier."In some cases, consumers are paying a higher rate just for the peace of mind that a fixed rate loan provides.Others are hedging their bets, choosing to fix a portion of their loan to give them some security," he said.

  Mortgage Choice National Manager Corporate Affairs, Warren O'Rourke said although housing affordability is an issue, the company's recent independent online ‘emotional drivers' survey showed less people are buying with a partner and more are buying on their own.
  
  ‘76% of those who purchased a home within the last two years bought with their partner and 18% bought solo, while significantly less people buying in the next two years will buy with a partner - 56% - and significantly more - 36% - will buy solo.So, the housing market looks set to continue to see more Australians taking out mortgages for which they have sole responsibility.Although people are partnering up later in life, this will not prevent them from buying their own little piece of Australia,' Warren O'Rourke said.
