Welcome to Mortgage Choice!

Why Mortgage Choice?

I chose to become a mortgage broker for many reasons, but there are three main reasons I chose to become a Mortgage Choice Mortgage Broker:

1. Zero Cost to You

The lender pays the commission (not you!)

2. Wider Range of Options

Rather than a engage a mobile lender who can only offer you one of a few products from their bank or financial institution, with a Mortgage Choice Mortgage Broker, you have the option to consider the product ranges from over 35 different lenders

PLUS Mortgage Choice offers more than home just loans! With Car Loans, Asset Finance, Credit Cards and Commercial Lending, whatever your need, we can help!

3. Expertise & Experience

Mortgage Choice prides itself on its reputation in the market - and provides a wealth of expertise and experience through its broker network and the team of lending and credit specialists at head office.

Working closely with our lender panel representatives, we work to ensure we're always able to provide you with the right solution at the best price to meet your needs now and into the future.

4. FREE Step by Step Property Guide!

Buying a property is one of the biggest financial commitments you will make. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first, second or tenth purchase, you will always have some important questions and decisions to make.

Proud Supporter of Dolly's Dream

I am very proud that the Mortgage Choice Charity Foundation (MCCF) has announced its National Partner for 2024 being the anti-bullying organisation, Dolly’s Dream.

Dolly’s Dream is committed to changing the culture of bullying through education and direct support to young people and families, which addresses the impact of bullying, as well as anxiety, depression and youth suicide.

The partnership will see franchisees from within the Mortgage Choice network contribute from each loan settled to Dolly’s Dream, supported by additional fundraising activities and a generous contribution from REA Group.

As a parent, being about to support children appropriately in the face of intense and unrelentless bullying is a major concern. Dolly's Dream provides valuable parental resources to assist in this which are free to access via the following link:

https://dollysdream.org.au/parent-hub/

In supporting this initiative I will continue to make voluntary contributions for every loan settled as part of my commitment to support the MCCF

Jo was amazing, goes well above and beyond just organising financing and really held our hands all the way through settlement. A lot of work and research into products that are taylored to our requirements. Will not go anywhere else for financing.

Update Went through a build refinance with Jo, again went above and beyond to make this as painless as possible.

Thanks Jo

23 January 2024

As a first-home buyer, the mortgage process was extremely intimidating. I am so relieved to have engaged Joanne From the outset, Jo was so helpful, patient and human. No question was a silly question, and she always made herself available to help me. Jo is so genuinely compassionate and truly cares. I will recommend Jo and the team at MortgageChoice to anyone starting their property journey. Thank you so much

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.

Click here for more information on the ACT First home Owner Grant.

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.

Click here for more information on the NSW First Home Owner Grant.

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.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant SA?
