Websites for Adelaide mortgage brokers, whether you hold your own credit licence or write loans as a credit representative under an aggregator. Built by our team on Hutt St, with pages that follow South Australia's split between new and established homes, a lender panel that can name HomeStart if you're accredited, and an enquiry form that asks whether a buyer is making an offer or heading to auction.
In South Australia, almost every first home question turns on one detail: is the home new or established? The state's grant and its first home duty relief only cover new homes, off-the-plan apartments and land to build on, while HomeStart, the state-backed lender, has products for buying an existing home. A borrower should be able to see in a screen or two which side of that line you can help them on.
Two short columns do more than a long paragraph. On the new side: no value cap on the $15,000 grant or on first home stamp duty relief for contracts from 6 June 2024, and the six-month residence requirement. On the established side: no state grant or first home duty relief at all, so the conversation moves to deposit size, the federal 5% Deposit Scheme and HomeStart. Each column links to RevenueSA and carries the date you last checked it.
HomeStart is backed by the South Australian Government, doesn't charge lenders mortgage insurance and runs a Find a Broker search for its accredited brokers. If you hold that accreditation, it sits in your lender list by name beside the banks, with a line on when you'd look at it. We'd only add its logo if HomeStart or your aggregator allows it, and we'd take the name off if the accreditation lapses.
Because South Australia's first home help sits with new homes and builds, construction finance comes up early. RevenueSA says a buyer who needs the grant for settlement or the first progress payment has to lodge through an approved agent rather than directly with RevenueSA. A page on how you handle a contract to build, the grant timing and progress draws gives house-and-land buyers a reason to call before they sign with a builder.
Since 25 March 2026, RevenueSA offers stamp duty relief to buyers aged 60 or over who sell their home and move to a new home, an off-the-plan apartment or vacant land with a smaller land size. If you look after older borrowers, bridging finance or the timing between sale and purchase, a page in your words about that work, linked to RevenueSA for the rules, gives them somewhere to start.
A buyer making an offer in South Australia can make it subject to finance; a buyer at auction can't. So the form asks whether it's an offer, an auction or a build, the date that matters (auction day, or when cooling-off ends), the suburb and a rough price. A message about Saturday's auction then stands out from a general refinance query. Contracts, ID and payslips stay in your aggregator's secure fact-find.
Credit law is national, so the footer carries your ACL number, or your credit representative number with your licensee's name and ACL, exactly as ASIC's register shows it, next to a link to your Credit Guide and a plain note on how lenders pay you. Our main broker page explains each piece, and your licensee supplies the wording.
A photo, the languages you speak, and whether you'll meet at your office, at the client's kitchen table or by video. At the 2021 Census the most common languages other than English in South Australian homes were Mandarin (1.8%), Italian (1.3%), Greek and Vietnamese (1.2% each), so a broker who speaks one of them should say so near the top.
The national layer, briefly. Licensing, the best interests duty, the Credit Guide and the comparison rate rule apply in Adelaide exactly as in every other capital, and our main mortgage broker page covers them. The Melbourne and Perth pages show how differently each state builds on top. In South Australia the state layer is RevenueSA's grant and duty settings, HomeStart, and the way the Form 1 and cooling-off work in a sale.
Grant and duty: new only, no ceiling. RevenueSA's grant is up to $15,000 for a new home, an off-the-plan apartment, a substantially renovated home bought from a developer, a contract to build (house-and-land packages included) or an owner-builder project. For contracts entered into from 6 June 2024 there's no property value cap; earlier contracts were held to a cap. Every applicant has to live in the home for at least six continuous months, starting within 12 months of settlement or of the home being ready to occupy. First home stamp duty relief follows the same pattern, covering new homes, off-the-plan apartments and vacant land to build on, with no cap from 6 June 2024. Neither applies to an established home, and since 13 February 2025 knock-down rebuilds have been excluded from the grant as well. A foreign buyer pays RevenueSA's 7% foreign ownership surcharge on top of ordinary duty. We'd link RevenueSA's eligible properties page (opens in a new tab) rather than copy it.
HomeStart and the federal scheme. HomeStart lists a Low Deposit Loan from a 3% deposit for an existing home in metropolitan Adelaide, a Graduate Loan from 2% to buy for people with a Certificate III or higher, and a HomeStart Loan from 5% to buy or 8% to build. Its Shared Equity Option can add up to 25% of the price, with a net household income limit of $120,000 after tax and a $750,000 purchase price limit, and its Starter Loan lends up to $10,000 towards upfront costs while funds last. Those figures change, so a broker's page is better spent on when you'd suggest HomeStart and when a bank suits, with a link to HomeStart's site (opens in a new tab) for the limits. The federal 5% Deposit Scheme caps prices at $900,000 for Adelaide and $500,000 for the rest of the state. South Australia has no listed regional centres, so a buyer in Mount Gambier or Port Lincoln works to the lower figure, and the scheme's postcode search settles any edge cases.
Offers, auctions and the Form 1. SA.GOV.AU explains that in a sale by offer the buyer gets two clear working days to cool off, starting from whichever comes later, receiving the vendor's statement (Form 1) or signing the contract. It also warns that writing ‘subject to finance’ doesn't automatically mean the lender or the amount the buyer had in mind, which is a conversation for a broker before the offer goes in. Auctions are unconditional: no finance clause, usually a 10% deposit on the day and no cooling-off, so the government tells bidders to have finance in place first. That gives an Adelaide broker two pages worth writing, one on pre-approval before auction day and one on finance clauses in private sales. Our Adelaide real estate page covers the agent's side of the same process.
Adelaide borrowers, and us. At the 2021 Census, 35.6% of South Australian households were paying off a mortgage. Borrowers search by suburb, not council area, so if you see clients in person, name where your office is and the suburbs you draw on, and say plainly if you'll meet by video anyone buying in the Riverland, the South East or on Eyre Peninsula. We're a web design team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St in the city. Most of our projects run by phone and email, local ones included; if you'd rather sit down with us before work starts, that can be arranged. We haven't built a broking site yet, and we'd rather tell you that now.
Neither of these is a broker. Both are Adelaide businesses we built for: one gives prospective clients a price range before they enquire and explains technical work in articles, the other has a multi-step quote form and a page for each area it covers, which is close to what a broker's scheme pages and enquiry form ask for.
Adelaide structural engineers working for homeowners and builders. Their quote form shows fee ranges up front, and 16 articles explain the work in plain terms. A broker's site can do the same with HomeStart, grant timing and downsizing explained one article at a time, and a short note on how you're paid.

A licensed South Australian renovation and new-home builder covering Adelaide, the Hills and the Fleurieu. The 30-page site has a seven-step quote form, seven service-area pages and five planning guides. A broker who works with house-and-land buyers can use the same structure: a stepped enquiry form and a page for each area or buyer type.

$1,499

For contracts entered into from 6 June 2024, yes: RevenueSA now applies no property value cap to the grant or to first home stamp duty relief. The cap still matters for contracts signed before that date, so a dated note can stay for clients who signed then, linked to RevenueSA. Updating the text is an edit our hosting covers.
If you are, put HomeStart in your lender list, since HomeStart's own Find a Broker search lists accredited brokers. Link to HomeStart for deposit, income and price limits rather than repeating them, since they change. Tell us if your accreditation lapses and we'll take it off.
Yes. RevenueSA's seniors downsizing relief started for contracts from 25 March 2026 and applies to buyers aged 60 or over moving to a new home, off-the-plan apartment or vacant land with a smaller land size. The page would describe your work with older borrowers in your words and link RevenueSA for eligibility. Your licensee may want to read it before launch, and we change whatever they ask.
That you work with them by phone or video, and that some settings depend on location. The 5% Deposit Scheme cap is $900,000 for Adelaide and $500,000 elsewhere in SA, and HomeStart's Low Deposit Loan is for existing homes in metropolitan Adelaide. We'd point to the scheme's postcode search rather than guess where a suburb falls, and add a page for regional SA if it's a real part of your work.
RevenueSA publishes a stamp duty calculator, HomeStart has borrowing and deposit calculators, and Moneysmart has a mortgage calculator, and linking those keeps the numbers right through rule changes. If you'd like a calculator built into your site, we quote it first like any feature, and one where visitors type in their own rate avoids advertising a rate on the page.
Mostly by phone and email, which suits brokers who spend the day with clients; if you'd rather meet at Hutt St first, that can be arranged. You send your words, headshots, licence wording and lender list, we build the draft, your licensee checks it if they want to, and you pay once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.
Send your licence or credit representative details, your lender list (HomeStart included if you're accredited) and the buyers you see most, whether first homes, builds, downsizers or refinances. We'll quote, build a draft your licensee can check, and you pay once it's approved.
