The government has many initiatives to help first home buyers achieve their dream and enter the property market. These include:

Purchase a home with a 5% deposit

The First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS) allows first time buyers to purchase a home with a deposit as little as 5%, while avoiding lenders mortgage insurance (LMI). Most banks and lenders require a minimum deposit of 20% of the property’s value for the borrower to be exempt from LMI. The scheme allows first home buyers who can’t reach this threshold to take out a loan if they have saved at least 5% of the value of the property they are buying. The government will underwrite the loan so that borrowers do not have to pay LMI.

First Home Owners Grant

The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a one-off payment available to first home owners by the state government to help with the cost of buying a first home or vacant land to build a home on. Exactly how much you will receive depends on where you are buying. In regional Victoria, for instance, the FHOG is worth $20,000. The Grant doesn’t have to be repaid, and it’s not taxable, but there are strings attached.

Stamp Duty Concessions

In Victoria, first home buyers are not charged stamp duty for purchases under $600K. Thats a savings of around $31K! For properties valued between $600-$750K, first home buyers are eligible for a discount on their stamp duty.
