Buying my first home

Your first home, how exciting! You may be leaving home or getting off the rental treadmill, either way it’s a big step that puts you on the path to developing some real wealth through gaining a major asset. We help first home buyers to achieve their dreams. To help you on your way, the Federal and some State Governments provide a special grant to help you on your way. We even lodge your First Home Owners Grant for you with the chosen bank. Call us today if you are in the market for your first home, we're as excited as you are.

On 14 October 2008, the Australian Government announced that it was introducing the First Home Owners Boost. Together with the current $7,000 First Home Owner Grant (“FHOG”) the Boost will provide first home buyers with up to $21,000 on houses purchased before 30 June 2009.

With the First Home Owners Boost first home buyers could be eligible for an additional $7,000 to purchase an established home and up to an additional $14,000 if purchasing a newly-constructed home. The Boost applies to contracts entered into on or after 14 October 2008 and will leverage off the administration of the current FHOG scheme. To be eligible contracts must be signed before the end of June 2009.
