Low Deposit Home Loan – Keystart
Peel Finance Brokers can help you to get your Keystart ‘Low Deposit’ home loan. It is a variable interest rate loan which can be used by owner-occupiers to buy an established home or build a new house. This loan is available to both first home buyers and subsequent home buyers and we lend across the State of Western Australia.
