My only regret is to not have had the foresight to have engaged with Mortgage Choice four and a half years ago when my financial hardship first occurred. Each of the Mortgage Choice representatives have made every step of the process relatively easy. They have been positive and encouraging and I applaud their excellent customer service.
Thank you James, Elliott, Gavin and all the girls who answered our telephone enquiries.

Being recently discharged bankrupt, we approached Elliot at Mortgage Choice with more than a little trepidation - we knew that we were ready to re-enter the mortgage belt but were wary of how we would be seen by a broker and financier.
Elliot was completely positive from our first meeting, and put our insecurities to rest from the outset. He really did have our best interests to the fore, and introduced us to a product that suited our situation entirely, then made the processes as simple as possible.
Mortgage Choice at Miami handled everything from application, pre-approval through to final approval with complete professionalism - they made it look easy, although I'm sure at times it probably wasn't that easy for them! They have been an absolute delight to have in our corner, they covered all the bases & were always one step ahead with what we needed to do & when to do it.

James, Angela, Elenni, Gavin and the team at Mortgage Choice Miami were great to work with in terms of their professional knowledge and tactics at securing a home loan and structuring my finances to best help my investment property. Their friendly nature and organised operation helped me achieve my goal within my financial limits whilst making the process (of spending/ borrowing money) enjoyable.

To all prospective clients considering a loan manager; look no further than James and his team.
They were always professional and available whenever needed to clarify the process. I have dealt with several loan managers over the years and James' knowledge of the financial market is second to none.
Our home loan was problematic and our bank of 25 plus years was unable to assist; but suggested/recommended Mortgage Choice at Burleigh, as an option due to the complexity of our investments elsewhere. Happy to say it all went through far better than we could ever have envisaged.
You and your staff have excelled in all customer support, are well skilled, are a pleasure to deal with and have an excellent understanding of financial services.
A big thank you and great work to James and his team.

Being in an older age group and still working I found it so stress free when someone else did all the work and running around which I would have had to do.
Plus the situation of finding a home loan at my age is difficult but Mortgage Choice was able to succeed. The staff explained in simple terms how every thing happens and were all happy to take phone calls to answer all my inquiries at any time.......great.
5 staff at I.C.U Gold Coast Hospital have already used this great service....
Very happy ...thank you.

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 $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 $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.

There are currently no specific stamp duty concessions available for first home buyers in SA.

The $15,000 FHOG in South Australia is only available to first home owners who buy or build a brand new home. You can choose from a house, apartment, townhouse or villa, but you will only be able to claim the FHOG SA if you pay below $575,000 for your home.
