Client reviews

I had a great experience working on my loan with Mortgage Choice. Collin and Carol was very attentive and helpful throughout the process. In the first meeting, Colin explained our options very well and answered the thousands of questions me and my wife had. Later on we had to do a second pre-approval because of processing time of the first lender went through the roof. Colin was quick to get our second approval through in 3-4 business days which made sure I bought the house I wanted.

I highly recommend Mortgage Choice to anyone looking to purchase a new property. My experience with them while buying our first home was exceptional, thanks to Colin and Janet's support and guidance. They provided highly professional and friendly service, which made the process quicker than we had expected.

Colin and his staff were absolutely wonderful. This was our first home and we'd recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or re-finance. Their communication was awesome and friendly. They were always available to answer our questions via phone or email and made us feel very supported during the settlement process. They've got your back

Colin the team at Mortgage Choice Windsor managed a quite complex refinancing where other brokers could not deliver. The settlement involving 3 banks leading into the holiday break was also a bit of a cat herding exercise, but again, Janet's persistence made it happen.
Highly recommended

My boyfriend and I recently utilised the team at Mortgage Choice Windsor for the purchase of our first home. We worked closely with Colin and Janet throughout the process. They both made the process very easy for us and we felt very well supported throughout. I have recommended the team to a number of people already and will continue to utilise their service in the future. Thank you Colin and Janet

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.

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

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.
