Your local home loan & finance team are here to help.

We know how stressful and complicated the loan process can be. Finding the right loan for your first home, investment property, new car or commercial property can seem daunting. That’s where we come in.

We take the hassle out of finding the right loan

At Mortgage Choice in the Pilbara and Kimberley, we have a friendly loan support team who help you through every step in the home loan process, making it as streamlined as possible and giving you a smooth transition into your new home or investment.

The first step: choosing your home loan

The first step in any home loan journey is to make sure you first have the right loan from the right lender at the right rate! There are plenty of comparison sites online, but it could take you hours to go through every loan on the market, not to mention the fine print.

Let us help you! Our home loan team will find the right loan for you from our panel of over 20 lenders, including all the big banks and some specialist lenders, to find you the loan that best suits your goals.

Do you want to pay off your loan in lump sums? Or use the equity in your home to invest in another property? There are plenty of options and we’ll find you the right one.

Helping you through the home loan process

It’s not just about making sure we have found the right home loan for you. There is lots of paperwork and follow up that comes with it! But don’t stress, we’ve got you covered.

Our home loan team will help you complete the required paperwork and follow up the banks for you so you don’t have to.

We’ll also help you through each stage from pre-approval to settlement, and help the transition into your new home as easy as possible.

Making sure you’re covered

We believe in working in our client’s best interests and making sure you’re aware of everything that comes with having a new home loan. We want you to feel comfortable and informed.

That's why we offer a free first appointment with our financial adviser so you can make sure you and your family are covered and prepared for every situation that may come up.

Our home loan service is no cost to you

Our clients love the expertise available to them from a local team who know the market and the Secret Harbour area. But what they love more is that our home loan service is no cost to you as the lender you choose pays us a commission after your home loan settles - so you get a team of experts for no cost.

Tara, you handled our application with professionalism and were extremely understanding of our needs - which were quite specific!
Any of the problems that were raised when dealing with the loan application were dealt with with a sense of urgency, which gave us a sense that we were not just another application. Which I think it is really important.

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.

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.

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.
