As a local home owner, I understand that buying a home is an important decision, and as a Mortgage Broker, I understand that finding the right loan is equally as important. Hi, I'm Greg Gauci, your Mortgage Choice Mortgage Broker for the Bankstown region.

When I'm out socially and someone asks me what I do, I'm proud to tell them I'm a Mortgage Choice Mortgage Broker. Helping people achieve their property goals is wonderfully rewarding and I'm always happy to talk about it. So I thought here on my page I'd run through some of the common questions people ask me.

What does it cost to use a Mortgage Broker?

There is no charge for our home loanservice as the lenders pay us rather than the client. At Mortgage Choice, the only thing that matters to us is the home loan that’s right for you. As a Mortgage Choice broker, I get paid the same rate regardless of which home loan you choose from our wide choice of lenders.

Are Mortgage Brokers aligned with a particular lender?

When we review loans for a client, we review loans from the broadest range of lenders including the banks.

How does the service work?

The process is straight-forward:

An initial consultation gives me an insight into the client's lending needs, expectations and property goals.
I take that understanding and assess it against a suite of loan products form a range of lenders.
I present the client with loan options and answer questions to help them make the decision on which loan is right for them.
The loan is then managed and monitored from electronic submission through to settlement to ensure a timely turn-around.

How do people make the right loan choice?

The service itself is designed to make a very important decision as simple as possible for the client. We assist by providing clear, accurate information about the loan products most suited to the client's needs and answering all client queries relating to the intricate details, outcomes and variations of the loan.

Are there other services you provide?

Yes, together with home loans, I can help with:

Investment property and strategy
Mortgage protection insurance
Building and contents insurance

How do people choose one Mortgage Broker over another?

Obviously experience counts. I've been a professional Mortgage Broker for more than 5 years, with a history in finance prior to that. It also makes sense to use a Broker with the backing and resources of Mortgage Choice.

Then it comes down to rapport. You want someone who understands you and your property goals. Someone willing to do the leg work and follow up with the lenders to keep things moving. You also need someone you can call to answer any question, even when that question pops into your head at 8.30pm at night.

I have countless glowing reference letters from clients past and present who have asked me these same questions and went on to use my expertise and experience to help them buy their dream home. I do hope you can be one of them.

Give me a call or click on the link, I look forward to meeting you.

When all else failed, you were able to give me hope and more importantly a home loan, and now a place I can call home. Thank you

- First Home Buyer

I'd just like to say thank you for all your guidance and assistance through this whole process. I believe I speak for my parents as well, that going through this first home purchase would have been a lot more stressful and difficult had we not enlisted your services and for that we're really grateful. Thank you for being prompt and reliable with answering all the queries we had and also for negotiating a great rate for me as well. It was great doing business with you and we will definitely contact you if we require any advice/services in the future!

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 $176,000 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.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant QLD?

As a first home buyer in Queensland you could be entitled to the $15,000 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 $400,000 or less for your block. Whereas if your first home is valued up to $500,000, you pay zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of $8,750, 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 $505,000, you pay stamp duty of $1,050, a saving of $7,875. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more. On a property valued at $550,000, for example, the stamp duty would work out to be $10,600.
