We are actually returning customers of Greg Vine and can not speak highly enough of the service we have received over the years. I would imagine we would have been at the more difficult end of the scale given some of our circumstances but from day 1, Greg was confident he could get us a great deal (which he did) He went above and beyond to keep us informed and continued to use his connections to get us in our house on time when it was not looking likely due to circumstances outside of our control. Our conveyancer even commented that his conduct was of the highest standard...much higher than they're used to seeing and that we had found a 'good broker' in Greg. He is clearly very knowledge and has a great deal of industry experience which was exactly what we needed to help get us the result we needed. We were initially reluctant to go with a broker but Greg's professional yet friendly nature made the whole experience very easy with minimal fuss. We will likely never purchase another property without Greg. Thanks again!

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.

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’.

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.
