We can help you get pre-approval!

Did you know that loan pre-approval provides you with conditional approval of a loan amount? Generally speaking, it's based on an assessment of your individual circumstances, needs and ability to repay the loan.

It may be your biggest weapon when it comes to buying a home, as it allows you to understand how much you can borrow and therefore, what you can spend on a property. It also puts you in a stronger position to negotiate with a vendor or bid at an auction, giving you more confidence when it comes to bidding.

As your mortgage broker in Beaumaris, Mentone and Highett, Brooke Alexander can help you organise your home loan pre-approval. Just get in touch with her this week to start the process.

My wife and I had a great experience with Brooke as she helped us get a loan to buy a house in Geelong with very little stress involved. She was thorough in gathering all our info which not only helped her find the best loan for us but also made our application compelling for the banks to accept us. Every time we had a question, Brooke provided great guidance and responded very quickly so we were never confused about anything. I would use Brooke again and have recommended her to friends

Brooke has been a fantastic mortgage broker. She managed to navigate the complexities of my refinancing and secured me a great deal especially given the climate. I am overseas, my property is in a different territory, time differences, changing goal posts were all dealt with and communicated to me efficiently and with humour making what would have been extremely stressful process relatively easy. Thanks Brooke

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.

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.
