Jane was so helpful in explaining our mortgage options so we could make the right choice, ultimately saving us a really significant amount of money by changing providers. Thanks!
Jane, Julie and the rest of the team were fantastic. This was my first time using a mortgage broker and would definately use and refer them again. They keep me informed throughout the process and provided a much more personalised service than my previous dealings with a bank. Thanks again.

My experience with Mortgage Choice and in particular Jane Vaughan was excellent. Jane's expertise and knowledge is second to none and I would recommend her to all my friends and family should they require financing of any kind. Refinancing a mortgage is a stressful exercise under any circumstances but Jane was able to guide me through the entire process and made it really, really easy for me! Jane gets a GOLD STAR from me X

Jane was very genuine and had our best interests in mind. She made the process easy to understand and simple to go through. She is saving us literally $1000s per year with her advice and through managing our refinance.

I was so satisfied with the service provided by Jane and Julie that I have recommended them to two family members, and would not hesitate to do so again for anyone else.

I generally don’t write reviews here but the service we received from Jane was exceptional. She was helpful in all stages of our first home loan process and it was a smooth ride to get loan approved from one of the big 4 banks. Jane never minded even if I rang her over weekend to ask dozens of questions and I always found her efficient to do required follow ups.

Jane, and her team, were very professional and supportive throughout the whole process of purchasing an investment property. Jane always made herself available to deal with any concerns or enquiries and took the time to explain the information properly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jane to my family and friends. I will be using Jane's services again in the future and would not consider using any other mortgage broker.

Talk to a brokerFrom 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.
Click here for more information on the ACT First home Owner Grant.
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
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.

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.

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.
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.
