Kerry Karen,

Were absolutely amazing . Even when circumstances beyond their control, delayed settlement, they were patient, worked with conveyancer, became my advocates when they needed to be.

Kerry and Karen have been a excellent experience for my wife and I, making the whole process, which can be a bit complicated, very easy. I would defiantly recommend Kerry Teakle Mortgage choice to anyone who is looking to re-finance.

Unfortunately the team here were not able to help us with a product for our home loan. Luckily we were referred from a friend to someone else.
Point here is not to be discouraged to search for other brokers if you're not getting what you're after.
Appreciate your time and efforts while working with you. We have now been in our home for 3 months and all is well.

My partner and I went with mortgage choices from a recommendation from a friend. It was the best choice we made. Kerry was amazing and guided us every step of the way. Kerry was very prompt responding to our questions even if they were not related to her job. Without her help and knowledge finding a house would of been difficult, nearly impossible. We both could not recommend her enough.

28 January 2025

It has been nothing but a pleasure working with Kerry and her team to secure us our house in Adelaide. This after Five years of looking and a story book of ups and downs. Finally working with Mortgage Choice made the difference and we can now settle down exactly where we planned to.

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.
