Nicole guided us through the process of purchasing our new family home in a professional and reassuring manner. We were shielded from much of the work whilst being across the detail at all times.

Nicole, Thanks so much for your help and for being just so GREAT with everything. You have made this whole process much less daunting. Look forward to buying the next property with you!!

- First Home Buyer

Nicole, we are very pleased with the refinance mortgage package you negotiated and secured for us and, from our perspective, the ease with which the new loan was applied for and approved. The resulting savings to us are far more than we would have achieved had we dealt directly with the bank. We thank you for this and won't hesitate recommending you to others wanting a mortgage best suited to their needs, at an interest rate less than they might otherwise obtain.

As a first time Investor I had a truckload of questions and queries, the process could not have been simpler and the service that Nicole and Aurora provided was outstanding! Nicole explained everything in clear simple terms and Aurora kept me updated at every turn, I will recommend them to family and friends and can't wait to do it all again.

- Property Investor

Nicole and Aurora were extremely helpful in assisting me to find a good mortgage that suited my finances and needs, but which took my preferences into account. Once the process was started, they worked hard to ensure I was kept informed and that things kept moving - not easy given that I was overseas the entire time this was taking place!

- Property Investor

Investing can be scary. Nicole made it easy. She was great throughout the whole process, answering all of my silly questions and showing me the different options I had when it came to my home loan. I thoroughly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for great friendly service. She saved me time and money!
Deanne, Ellwood, VIC
- Property Investor

I found my consultation with Nicole extremely helpful. Nicole went out of her way to elevate all of my queries and concerns which was fantastic as I was a first home buyer and faced with what I perceived as a daunting process ahead. Nicole helped make the process very smooth. Aurora, similarly was just has helpful and calming. Aurora would continue to update me on my application at every step of the way. I always felt that she had my best interest at heart. I would have no problems recommending Nicole or Aurora to anyone and indeed have, as a result of their utter professionalism, personality and help they provided me

I would like to thank all of you for a pleasant, professional and great experience in purchasing my first investment property. Being my first time, each of you showed dedication, answered all questions promptly, and kept me up to date on important issues.

I wish you all the best and Nicole you have a great team behind you!

I will hopefully deal with the team again, and I will definitely be referring friends and family to the great service that you have provided me.

Dear Nicole

I really feel valued by this process and it has made my experience so easy and comfortable....

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.
