Buying in NT

What changes when you compare home loans in Northern Territory

The lenders on this page price nationally — your interest rate is the same buying in Darwin as it is anywhere else. What does change is the cash going in. First home buyers in NT can combine the Up to $50,000 First Home Owner Grant with the state stamp duty concession (house and land package (hlp) and established homes concessions available — see territory revenue office for current bands) and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $600,000. Those three together can shift your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without ever touching the rate column above.

Federal scheme · Available nationwide

Home Guarantee Scheme — 5% deposit, no LMI

Buy a home with as little as a 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance — the federal government guarantees the rest. Since 1 October 2025 the scheme has unlimited places, no income caps, and significantly higher property caps. The property must be your principal place of residence (no investors).

Northern Territory home loan FAQs

What are the lowest home loan rates in Northern Territory?

Our Northern Territory table is sorted by comparison rate so the lowest rates sit at the top, refreshed daily. Home loan rates aren't set by state — the same lenders price nationally — so a NT buyer accesses the same rates as anyone else; the grants and concessions are what differ in NT.

What is the First Home Owner Grant in NT?

NT's First Home Owner Grant is Up to $50,000. HomeGrown Territory grant — buying or building a new home, contracts signed 1 Oct 2024 to 30 Sep 2026.

Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in NT?

House and Land Package (HLP) and Established Homes concessions available — see Territory Revenue Office for current bands. These concessions can be worth more than a small difference in interest rate, so factor them into your total cost — not just the headline rate. Authority: nt.gov.au.

What is the Home Guarantee Scheme property price cap in NT?

$600,000 Under the federal Home Guarantee Scheme, eligible buyers in NT can purchase under that cap with as little as a 5% deposit and no Lenders Mortgage Insurance — the government guarantees the difference. It works with any lender on the scheme's panel, including several on the table above.

Should I use a broker to compare home loans in Northern Territory?

A broker compares the whole lender panel, handles the paperwork, and negotiates your rate — usually at no cost to you, because the lender pays the broker. For a NT buyer that also means someone who can line up the right loan with the FHOG, stamp duty concession and Home Guarantee Scheme so nothing eligible is left on the table.
