If you’re trying to buy in Victoria without a deposit saved, the honest options are limited — and most still require you to save something. Springboard’s community-fund arrangement is built for exactly this.

Why “no deposit” is so hard in Victoria

Melbourne and regional Victorian prices mean a 20% deposit can take years to save — and even the government’s 5% scheme still requires you to save that 5% plus stamp duty and legals.

How Springboard gets you in with zero savings

  • Our community fund covers the deposit and the upfront costs (legals, stamp duty).
  • A normal home loan from an accredited lender covers the rest, arranged via our licensed broker team.
  • You make repayments for five years — a bit above rent — then refinance and own your home.

Who qualifies

Combined income around $150k, steady employment, clean credit, Australian citizenship, full-doc income. Savings not required. First home buyers and people making a fresh start both welcome. Buy any completed home a lender will approve, anywhere in Victoria.
