A word from our founders
Hi there,
We started OwnHome because we watched our siblings and friends struggle to buy their first homes. They had good jobs and steady incomes, and they could comfortably afford a mortgage. What held them back was the deposit.
Saving 20% on today's prices can take the best part of a decade. Many of the people who buy sooner get help from their parents. We don't think buying a home should depend on that.
So we built a lender for the gap. OwnHome lends the deposit alongside a standard home loan. We assess every application properly and include a buyer's agent so our clients buy well.
Since then we've helped our clients buy more than 750 homes, worth over $650 million. CommBank's X15 Ventures, NAB Ventures and Square Peg back us. We're building a business our clients and their brokers can rely on for the long term.

Our values
Authenticity
No tricks. No catches. Just a simple path to homeownership.
Anti-fragile
If there is one thing that is certain, it’s that the world is uncertain. We take the long hard road, over the short easy road.
Relationships > transactions
This is a relationship, not a transaction. You’re not a number at OwnHome. You’re a person.
Customer first
Homeownership is tricky, but we’re in your corner every step of the way. We get to know you and your unique situation.
Lead with trust
Your home is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your life. We strive to earn and keep your trust.
