Client reviews

Highly recommended Des made our first purchase a breeze and was able to answer any questions and queries we had. Des was always available anytime we called and made it so clear and easy to understand for first home buyers. We will be returning to Des for our next purchase.

26 February 2024

Des worked so hard to get our loan approved in quite difficult circumstances. He was always on top of everything, efficient and highly communicative. He really listened to our needs and fully delivered. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Des was referred to us from a friend and did a fantastic job at organising us a great deal for our second home purchase. For a previous purchase we'd organised directly with the bank and we will never do it this way again - Des was attentive, responsive and helpful at seemingly any time of day. Can certainly recommend using Des for your firstnext purchase.

If I could give Des 10 stars I would. He was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process of our first home purchase. He was speedy with email replies and always available to answer any questions, as silly as some were as my partner and I knew nothing about buying a house. Des was patient and reassuring and kept us in the loop throughout every stage of the process. Could not recommend him highly enough

Not many banks were willing to loan to us, but Des got us a loan for our dream house. Then as the interest rates were going up, Des called the bank and negotiated a lower rate for us, saving hundreds a month I would recommend Des to anyone seeking a loan.

Des went above and beyond to access mortgage options for me which allowed me to buy my first home in Australia. My situation was a complex one, which meant I had been turned away by numerous other mortgage brokers. That didnt put Des off though. He did the research and gave me the time and relevant information to consider my options.
Des is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and great to communica... read more

Extra Information

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.

Stamp duty concessions in NSW

From 1 August 2020, the NSW government has announced that stamp duty will not be applicable to first home buyers for properties valued up to $800,000 and vacant land valued up to $400,000. 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

How much is the First Home Owners Grant NSW?

The FHOG in NSW is worth $10,000 however conditions apply. To be eligible, your first home must have a total value below $600,000, and be either newly constructed or ‘substantially renovated’. A home is substantially renovated when most or all of the original house was removed or replaced, and it’s the first time the place has been sold, and lived in, after the renovations were completed.

If you plan to build a new home from scratch, you can still be eligible for the FHOG in NSW as long as your land plus the home you build have a combined value of less than $750,000.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant in the NT?

The First Home Owner Grant in NT is $10,000. Your income and the price of your home don’t affect the FHOG NT, and the grant is available if you buy or build a new house, apartment, duplex or townhouse.

As of 30 June 2021, there are currently no stamp duty concessions for first home buyers in NT.

Previously the Territory’s First Home Owner Discount was in place from 8 February 2019 to 30 June 2021. It let you save up to a maximum of $18,601 on the cost of stamp duty. The savings were available whether you purchased a new or established home as long as the home was valued under $650,000.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant QLD?

As a first home buyer in Queensland you could be entitled to the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant. To be eligible, you need to buy a brand new home or build a home from scratch with the total value (including the land) below $750,000. You may also be eligible if you buy off the plan or an established home that’s been substantially renovated.

As a guide, substantial renovations include replacing or altering foundations or replacing or altering floors. Cosmetic work such as painting the walls or sanding floors doesn’t add up to a substantial renovation when it comes to the FHOG in QLD.

Stamp duty concessions

If you’re buying vacant land to build your first home, you pay zero stamp duty as long as you pay $250,000 or less for your block. Concessions are available for vacant land valued above $250,000 and up to $400,000. Whereas if your first home is valued up to $500,000, you pay zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of $7,175 which is the maximum stamp duty rebate available to first home buyers in QLD.

Additionally, savings on stamp duty may still be available if you pay between $500,000 and $550,000 for your first home. As a guide, if your first home is worth $530,000, you pay stamp duty of $6,300 a saving of $3,500. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more.
