We have used Mortgage Choice twice now to refinance our Home Loan and both occasions it has been so easy, and always saved us thousands. Without question we will use them again, there is no way I would go directly to a bank again when it comes to our Home Loan.

Purchasing your first home can be a confusing and overwhelming process. John & his team at Mortgage Choice have been great support and have simplified the process from start to end.

The team at mortgage choice Tumbi Umbi were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They were patient with what felt like our never ending list of questions and found a way to explain every detail to us in a way we would understand. Everything I asked of them they did above and beyond what I would have expected and always kept us up to date on what was happening with the process.

My experience of Mortgage Choice has been outstanding. The communication between myself, my husband and Leanne was wonderful, with updates whenever we needed them and an ease of contact that was above and beyond. John was professional, knowledgeable and confident in his field, giving me the impression that I was in good hands with my home loan refinancing and that I would be given the best deal. I was regretting the whole refinance, but it has been completely painless - with support provided the whole way. I would recommend John and Leanne as a wonderful team for your home loan needs. I would have no hesitation in using their service again, if required. Thank you so much, you have been wonderful!

I've known John for a long time and he has handled 4 loans for me and through that taken care of everything including dealing with solicitors. He goes above and beyond for his clients and I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking for a mortgage or car loan and I have told all my friends about him and will continue to do so. Any mortgage or financial issues I have I will always go to John for help and advice.

We have been with a major bank for more than a quarter of a century but this process was so seamless. We were always kept in the look and any questions were answered that day. We can not recommend John and Leanne more. We should have made the change much earlier.

My husband and I have used the team twice now and will continue to do so in the future, the service is nothing short of outstanding. There is no jargon used and any questions are answered in a way we can understand. Extremely quick and efficient.

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.
