The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a one-off government payment to eligible first home buyers purchasing or building a new home. The amount varies by state — for example, $10,000 in NSW and VIC, and up to $30,000 in QLD for new builds. Our brokers will confirm your eligibility and manage your application.
The First Home Guarantee (formerly the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme) allows eligible first home buyers to purchase with as little as a 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). The Australian Government guarantees up to 15% of the loan value. Places are limited each financial year, so it's important to apply early.
Stamp duty concessions and exemptions vary by state and territory across Australia. In many states, first home buyers are fully exempt from stamp duty up to a certain property value and receive partial concessions above that threshold. Our team will advise you on exactly what applies in your state.
While a 20% deposit avoids LMI, first home buyers can access the First Home Guarantee with just a 5% deposit. Some lenders also accept 10% deposits with LMI added to the loan. A guarantor loan is another option that may allow you to purchase with minimal or no savings deposit.
