Expert advice

We know that making money decisions can sometimes feel like it's going to be too hard and complicated, but that's exactly why we are here to help. We can guide you through the process - we know exactly which steps you need to take - and we work with the lenders on your behalf. If you need to send in forms, we'll help you get them ready and in the right shape to send off to a lender.

Helping you make better choices

It can also seem like there is an overwhelming amount of choice. With so many banks and lenders offering so many different types of loans, you may worry that you'll choose the wrong deal and end up paying too much. We work with an extensive panel of lenders, and focus on your individual needs and goals, so we can match you with a loan that suits you. We'll narrow your choice right down for you - but the final decision will still be yours.

At no cost to you

Using our services is just like having your own home loan coach. But, best of all, we don't charge you for our home loan services - the lenders pay us after your home loan is settled.

We came to Pete as casual and part time employees, 4 dependents, 5% deposit, and a dream, and we thought that our chances of owning our own home were slim ...yet today we picked up the keys to our beautiful brand new home on the Sunshine Coast. The advice and support we received every step of the way was invaluable, and we couldn't have done it without the team at Mortgage Choice Buderim. Both Pete and Debbie were absolutely amazing to work with - fantastic communication, knowledge, experience, and passion. Thanks you so much for helping to make our dream a reality.

From the moment we walked in and met Peter, we knew we had made the right choice! He was knowledgeable, friendly, non-overbearing, and extremely easy to get along with. He was well prepared in letting us know what we needed to bring to our appointment to ensure an easy transition and the smooth running of our application, which was fantastic. We would absolutely recommend Peter and the team to friends and family, or anyone in need of a loan. Thank you again!

Pete did a fantastic job on our Home Loan, got the most competitive package available on the market, and went the extra mile to get everything over the line. We had a few issues near settlement time (issues with the Bank, not Pete or Mortgage Choice) and he and his team went above and beyond to ensure settlement occurred, we were even able to settle early. A big thank you to Pete and his team.

My wife and I had the pleasure of Pete's expertise during our mortgage application. He was exceptional to work with, and it was a stress free process. Pete is honest, trustworthy and will get the best deal with the right bank straight up. Thanks Pete, we love our new house!

Pete is a genuine and trust worthy fella. He makes getting a loan a breeze and goes over and above to get his clients the best deal with the right bank. Would recommend Pete to anyone.

As a real estate agent I recommend Pete Solomon to all of my clients and that's because I personally wouldn't use anyone else myself. Pete has handled all of my lending for many years and nothing is ever too difficult with exceptional communication.

Pete and his team are absolutely outstanding. He made our initial purchase and the subsequent refinance a breeze. No question was too silly - and he went so far out of his way to make sure we knew exactly what was happening and had help with all the paperwork. I can’t recommend Pete highly enough.
Thank you so much!

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.
