We used Greg to organise our home loan, and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. He not only got us a good rate but was also able to find a lender who did not have issues that many banks have lending to retired people. He is very personable and trustworthy and we'd recommend him without reservation.

This is honestly my 1st 5 star review I've ever given as to get 55 you need to follow words with deliverable actions. Greg and his team have not once, but twice delivered actions on our requests to re-examine re-fiance our loans. It only took a quick 5min chat with Greg and a follow up call to our financial provider to 'lock' in a better rates. With all the talk about Cost of Living Crisis, you need to... read more

Greg from Mortgage Choice is the only choice for home loans. He is extremely professional, works around the clock for you, makes this process seem quite easy, even after a couple of set backs on this last one, he always had all the advice and back up plan if needed. He happily took the reins when required.
He doesnt bombard you with information and choices, he listens to your needs and tones it all down... 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.

As a first home buyer in Queensland you could be entitled to the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant.

You may also be eligible if you buy off the plan or an established home that’s been substantially renovated.

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.
