" Dharma was a fantastic mortgage broker. Literally could not have had a better experience. He was open from the beginning, laid out what I could get by refinancing up front, was able to achieve this on a limited time frame. He was very quick to get back to me with updates and letting me know in relation to any delays. 10/10 would absolutely go with Dharma again when I go to refinance in the future"

Client reviews

It's my second house and I both chose Dharma for the process. I am even surprised at how quickly he responses and how closely he follows up. He let me know every important steps and saves me lots of money. I am usually the kind of person who shop around but I didn't hesitate to let me know when I need the second loan. He is trustworthy and good at finding the most suitable deal to you. He is such a pleasure to deal with that I hope I can get my third property sooner.

Went above and beyond from day 1 to help us understand what was happening, get everything sorted for us and dealt as the middle man between us and the lender so all we really had to do was supply required documents, read and sign paperwork. Took the stress out of a lot of situations for us

Dharma is fantastic to work with, he has the ability to leverage his broker networks to get more done for you than you can achieve on your own directly with the banks. I would strongly recommend him to anyone getting residential finance or enquirying as to their capability to do so.

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.

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.
