Who is Keystart?

Keystart is Western Australia's government-backed lender, established in 1989 to get low and moderate income earners into home ownership. Its signature is the low deposit: from 2% in the Perth metro area, with no lenders mortgage insurance, under income caps that are reviewed by the state government.

It is designed as a transitional lender: rates sit above the sharpest market pricing, and borrowers are encouraged to refinance to a mainstream lender once their equity and income allow.

Who suits a Keystart home loan?

Keystart tends to suit West Australians who can service a loan but cannot save a 10 to 20% deposit, including buyers who don't qualify for enough under the federal Home Guarantee Scheme. Plan the exit: once you hold enough equity, refinancing to a sharper mainstream rate from the table above is the intended next step.
