New Home Builds & The First Home Buyers Grant

We are all happy to get a little bit of extra help when buying a new home. In all States there is a one off First Home Buyers Grant available for purchasing or building new homes, and some States also offer discounts on stamp duty if you’re buying your first home.

The grant amounts and eligibility vary depending on where you are, so you need to check all requirements with your relevant State Revenue Office for details.

 

We know how rummaging through the facts and red tape can be overwhelming. So that’s why we have compiled our no-fuss, easy to understand first home buyers grant guide to see what you might be entitled to.
