We have dealt with Andrew and Jacqui once before when we refinanced our home loan from interest only to (principal and interest) and rental to owner occupier. As a sole trader who had returned from maternity leave I knew it would be challenging but Andrew was up to the task and never wavered with his optimism. Fast track a few years later and we were in a position to upsize, the first call was to Andrew to find out our borrowing capacity. He worked with us hand in glove to find the best possible solutions, offering us many options at different price points with and without keeping our original property. This amazing attention to detail and support provided us with a sound foundation to make decisions that would have lasting impacts on our families financial future. His suggestions of loans and advantages, disadvantages and helping us achieve an outstanding end result have exceeded our expectations. We recommend Mortgage Choice Beaumaris to our clients and friends and will continue to use them for all our future mortgage and loan requirements. Many thanks for your hard work and unwavering support Andrew and Jacqui. Alishia Minett Johnson

As first home buyers my partner and I weren’t really sure what to look for in a broker or with anything related to a mortgage. Andrew and Jacqui were the perfect solution to that, keeping us well informed and updated throughout the whole process which made everything a breeze and stress free. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a brilliant broker! Jake Webster

Andrew and Jacqui have been so helpful over the years with finding us the best deals when refinancing and helping us throughout our construction of a new house. They are very quick with all their communications and always there to help with any questions no matter how silly they may feel. Would highly recommend. Erica Smith

Client reviews

I've been dealing with Aaron, Jacqui and Andrew for about a year now with a new home loan and a loan refinance. Throughout the whole time, everyone has been very professional and responsive. With my home settlement, Aaron was able to resolve an issue my own solicitor wouldn't bother explaining. And on the refinance, Jacqui was great in following up and compensating for Bank of Melbourne's incompetence. I highly recommend to any people looking for a new loan or refinancing.

From the start to the end of my journey with Aaron Jacqui has been immaculate. As a first home builder they made the process super easy and explained everything in great detail.

Aaron has been super helpful answering my questions and leading me to the right path anytime of the day.

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.
