Kaia and Tess have been fantastic throughout our time with them. They make the whole process simple and efficient, all the while with a smile and ever cheery disposition. If you are looking for someone who is professional with a great level of knowledge in the industry look no further. We couldn't be happier with the service we received.

When I called the bank I had been with for 20 years I felt very disheartened about the possibility of getting a mortgage. I had no idea how to go about the whole thing.

A friend recommended Kaia and from the first phone call to the last (which was about a 6 month period) she guided and encouraged me through the whole process.

So here I am sitting in my own little piece of paradise, thanks to both Kaia and Mikaleigh! I seriously couldn't have got through getting my place without them....I am so grateful. I can't sing their praises enough! Keep up all the good work! THANK YOU.

The team of fabulous women at Mortgage Choice Buderim are to be congratulated on their consistent and reliable efficiency, professionalism, attention to detail, and the way they make a stressful and bewildering experience seamless and secure.

Their genuine joy at bringing possibilities alive in people's lives is inspiring !

Any gals who work in gorgeous shoes like that are amazing !!

On behalf of Lorna and myself we would like to take this opportunity to thank Kaia and her wonderful team of people for helping us along in a journey to obtain a mortgage for the purchase of our property at Coes Creek.

This journey could have been a very difficult one which we were experiencing with our previous bank due to our financial circumstances.

Based on a reference from one of the Real Estate agents we spoke to, he recommended the broker Mortgage Choice in Buderim to consider us in getting our finance across the line.

Yourself, Tess and the rest of the team were absolutely wonderful and made the experience pleasurable and with a very favourable outcome.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

If you buy a home costing up to $430,000, no stamp duty is payable at all. If the value of your home is between $430,000 and $530,000, you’ll be entitled to a reduced rate of stamp duty. There are no additional concessions for homes valued above $530,000 and land valued above $400,000.
