Craigs expertise really gave us peace of mind when choosing our home loan. Throughout the loan process, Craig was an excellent communicator and made the application process streamlined. We have used Craig on two occasions now and really trust his knowledge of the industry. We highly recommend Craig and his team at Mortgage Choice to tailor the best loan for your needs.

Craig was outstanding and a great help in assisting us to navigate through the minefield of applying for an investment loan and refinancing a current loan. Craig was always available to answer questions and provide accurate and timely advice. Craig was always calm and offered solutions when required. We would have no hesitation in recommending Craig to help people achieve their financial goals.

I can't speak more highly of our experience with Craig and the Mortgage Choice team They were responsive and efficient, and went out of their way to make the process easy for us. Their systems had a lot of automation built in, which made it much quicker than any other refinance I've done.
Craig managed to secure us an exceptional interest rate which was well below the rate we were on, as well as a cashback bonus. We have saved thousands of dollars thanks for Craig's hard work

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.

You may also be eligible if you buy off the plan or an established home that’s been substantially renovated.

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.
