Dean, you made a complicated and daunting decision simple! Your efficiency was also appreciated. Thanks.
K.Williams, Malvern, VIC
- Refinancer

With my first home loan I went it alone, trying to sort the wheat from the chaff with mixed success. For my two further home loans, I sought the advice of Mortgage Choice.

Dean gave great advice on the vast range of loans available and helped me negotiate the minefield of a bridging loan. I've always felt confident with Dean's knowledge of current loans and support in what can be a trying and mystifying process.

Your friendly and professional manner really put us at ease so we felt that we could trust you to find us the right home loan. Thank you again.

Home Buyer Concession Scheme

From 1 July 2019, the FHOG ACT has been replaced with exemptions on stamp duty. The stamp duty exemption is applicable to all properties in ACT, including vacant residential land and both new and established homes at any price. As this is still to aid first home buyers, to be eligible at least one buyer must live in the home for at least 12 months, starting within 12 months of settlement or completion of construction.

To be eligible, first homeowners in the ACT must have a household income below $160,000. This number increases up to $176,650 depending on the number of children you may have.

This stamp duty exemption will be in place for 12 months to 31 July 2021, in which the stamp duty exemptions will revert back to $650,000 for homes and $350,000 for land.

Additionally, a concessional rate of duty will apply to homes valued more than $800,000 but less than $1,000,000 and vacant blocks of land valued more than $400,000 and less than $500,000
