Standout Tasmanian properties well within budget
Expected to launch later this year, the scheme will see the federal government make a contribution of up to 40% in exchange for a share, or proportional interest in the property.
Buyers with a deposit of at least 2% will be eligible for the scheme, and the size of the equity contribution can vary from up to 30% for an existing home, to 40% for a new property.
This aims to assist prospective home owners gain access to the property market sooner than they would otherwise have been able, thanks to a smaller deposit.
