About Me

15 years Banking experience specialising in commercial and residential lending. I've lived in the St George area for over 10 years and have a group of friends who I love to associate with. Apart from English, I speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese.

Being an ex-banker, I am comfortable dealing with banks and familiar with their lending criteria and settlement process.

Here are some Most Asked Questions:

- I plan to buy another property. Can I use the equity in the current property?

- We would like to upgrade to a larger home. Do we have to sell the current one?

- My parents have a house and are willing to be my guarantors. Which lender accepts 'Family Pledge'?

- I just started a new job and am on probation. Am I eligible to apply for a home loan now?

- Do you do construction loans? We are interested in a house & land package.

- I have a few credit cards and personal loans and my credit score is not too good, do you have lenders that would consider?

- We are first home buyers and would like to know more about First Home Loan Deposit Scheme/stamp duty exemption...

Whatever situation you are in, I am here to help.

Jane has been exceptional in providing us with her services. She has catered to our demanding request of completing the loan end to end in less than 2 weeks. Without her persistence and determination, we would have never been able to settle on time. Really impressed. Thank you Jane!

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 QLD?

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.

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.
