We are time poor so having only 1 appointment made it so easy for us. I will be recommending you to others because you explained everything and kept us in the loop at all times. Excellent! Wonderful service!

The service we received from Julian and his team was fantastic. We loved that we were always kept up to date with weekly emails and if anything was needed it was acted upon quickly.
From the initial consultation for our home loan right through to settlement was stress and hassle free.
Thank you for your help team!

The service provided to me by Mortgage Choice Toowoomba was outstanding. They were regularly in contact with me to advise how the loan application procedure was progressing and would respond to any of my queries as soon as they could.

I would recommend everyone give Mortgage Choice Toowoomba a call as you will not be disappointed.

I couldn't speak more highly of the service that I received from Mortgage Choice. Julian who I initially saw with regards to my loan and the staff were fantastic, and very professional. Nothing was to much trouble. The staff kept me informed on a weekly basis as to the progress of the loan, a service that I truly appreciated. I have recommended Mortgage Choice to fellow work colleagues, even though I work in the finance industry. If I ever need anything else, I would have no hesitation in going straight to Mortgage Choice and their friendly staff

Julian was realistic with our financial situation and what was within our means. He took the time to explain it at our level of understanding and mortgage choice as a whole was ever present throughout the whole process.

The team at Mortgage Choice Toowoomba are amazing. The whole loan process to buy our first home was incredibly daunting for us but these guys made it a lot easier. Ben went above and beyond to ensure our loan was approved despite the first few hurdles we had which we have appreciated so much. If anyone was needing a loan we definitely recommend these guys. We couldn't have brought our first home without them. Many thanks Karli and Mathew.

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 $176,000 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.

The Territory’s First Home Owner Discount has been in place since 8 February 2019. It lets you save up to a maximum of $18,601 on the cost of stamp duty. The savings is available whether you buy a new or established home as long as the home is 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 $8,750, 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 $505,000, you pay stamp duty of $1,050, a saving of $7,875. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more. On a property valued at $550,000, for example, the stamp duty would work out to be $10,600.
