Does mayde help with deposits and finance?

Absolutely. We’d be more than happy to assist you here, alongside our partners at Charter Private. Just drop us a message and we’ll be in touch.

How do I know what I can afford?

Income, expenses, savings and what you had for breakfast all affect your borrowing capacity. Well, the first three factors at least. Part of the process at mayde includes working out your affordability before committing to a purchase.

If you’re not quite ready for finance chats yet, we also offer structured savings plans. mayde’s dream is to help everyone get into their own home, not just those cashed up and ready to go today.

How do I know which home design is right for me?

There are a few things you can consider when choosing a home design: - Whether kids are on the horizon – if they are, you might want to consider extra bedrooms or a second living room. - Land size and location – already have land? Your design will need to fit on the block and meet the building requirements of your location (we can help with this!) - Your non-negotiables – is a butler’s pantry simply a must-have? And a walk-in robe an absolute essential? - Your budget – there's a home design for every budget. Need some guidance? Our sales consultants spend all day helping people figure out the best fit for their vision. Get in touch.

How much of a deposit do I need to build my first home?

To go from the sale to signing the contract, mayde requires an initial deposit of $2,000. From there, sorry to answer like a politician, but it depends. Sometimes the deposit can be negotiated. Other times, the bank or lending institution requires you to have a certain amount ready for when the build starts. In most cases, a minimum deposit of 10% of the home’s purchase price is required, but you may also be eligible to pay a 5% deposit. Get in touch with us for a more solid (and less politician-y) answer.

What does fixed-price contract mean?

This is what we mean when we say there’s no nasty fine print. All the costs are upfront, fixed, unchangeable. We won’t spring any additional costs on you upon completion of the house and land package, so you can rest easy knowing it’s all sorted.

What is a house and land package and how do they work?

A house and land package is a piece of land in a new estate that is matched with a fixed price home that will be built on it. That means there will be two separate contracts – one with mayde, and one with the developer. Alongside our leading developers, we can help you find the right land with a home to match. Or if you have the land side of things under control, we can help with just the home.
