Make Your First Home a Reality at Carlisle’s First Home Buyer Seminar

Buying your first home is one of life’s biggest milestones – but getting there can feel like a maze of numbers, jargon and endless decisions. Carlisle’s First Home Buyer Seminar is here to simplify the process, offering an informative and inspiring evening designed to help first-home buyers take confident steps toward home ownership.

Join expert hosts from the Carlisle team on Tuesday, 25 November at the Spectra Showroom in Mulgrave, from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm, for tailored guidance, practical insights and a relaxed chance to explore what your first home could look like.

What to expect

Hosted by Mark Polatkensen, Director of Mortgage Domayne – Construction Finance Specialists, and Mark Richardson, Carlisle Homes’ General Manager of Sales, the session combines finance know-how with hands-on home-building advice.

Over canapes and drinks, you’ll learn how to:

• Maximise your borrowing power as a first-home buyer
• Make the most of government grants and incentive schemes, including updates to the First Home Buyer Guarantee (FHBG)
• Navigate finance options – from boosting your financial readiness to using guarantors or the “Bank of Mum and Dad”
• Decide whether to secure land first or choose a complete House & Land package

It’s the inside scoop that turns home ownership from a dream into a doable plan.

Step inside the Spectra Showroom

After the presentations, enjoy a guided tour of Carlisle’s spectacular Spectra Showroom – a 2,500-square-metre space showcasing more than 3,500 finishes, fixtures and materials.

Led by Carlisle’s Head of Spectra, you’ll get an insider look at the design selections that define the value-packed EasyLiving Series. From expertly curated colour schemes to cabinetry tones, benchtop finishes, flooring, lighting and bathroom fittings, it’s the perfect way to picture what your first home could look – and feel – like.

One-on-one advice, tailored to you

The evening wraps up with private Q&A sessions where you can chat directly with Carlisle’s sales specialists or Mortgage Domayne’s finance experts.

Whether you’re just exploring your options or ready to take the next step, you’ll get straightforward answers and personalised guidance to help you map out your path to home ownership.
