Your Local Home Loan Expert in Aspley and Surrounding Suburbs

Buying a property is one of the most significant financial commitments you’ll ever make. Navigating the finance process can be complex and overwhelming, even for experienced buyers. That's where I come in!

While you could go directly to a bank, they typically offer a limited range of their own products, which may not be the best options for your needs. As your dedicated Mortgage Choice Mortgage Broker, I have access to over 35 different lenders. I’ll provide you with detailed information and a variety of lending options, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Not every loan product is the same, and what works for one person may not be suitable for you. I’ll take the time to explain the differences between products so you can understand why a particular loan is the best fit for your unique situation. Additionally, I will assist you in identifying any government grants or schemes you may be eligible for, ensuring you maximize your benefits.

I’m committed to supporting you throughout the entire process, from initial application to settlement and beyond. I will periodically review your loan to ensure it continues to meet your evolving needs.

We don’t charge to find the right loan for you. We are paid by the lender once your loan settles. In some limited circumstances your broker may charge a fee, which would be discussed with you before proceeding.

To learn more about how I can help you achieve your home loan goals, give Lisa a call or book in a time to chat.

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.

Previously the Territory’s First Home Owner Discount was in place from 8 February 2019 to 30 June 2021. It let you save up to a maximum of $18,601 on the cost of stamp duty. The savings were available whether you purchased a new or established home as long as the home was valued under $650,000.

As a first home buyer in Queensland you could be entitled to the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant.

You may also be eligible if you buy off the plan or an established home that’s been substantially renovated.

Concessions are available for vacant land valued above $250,000 and up to $400,000. Whereas if your first home is valued up to $500,000, you pay zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of $7,175 which is the maximum stamp duty rebate available to first home buyers in QLD.

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.
