I had an outstanding experience working with Ash. As a first home buyer I had a lot of questions and uncertainty. From the very beginning, Ash was patient, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in guiding me through the entire mortgage process. He took the time to explain all my options clearly and made sure I understood every detail. I truly felt like a priority. He was available to answer any questions I had, no matter how basic. Thanks to Ash and the team

So grateful that we were put in touch with Ash. He made the process so simple and were really happy with the end result. He took the time to understand our needs, walked us through the numbers in detail, found a loan that suited our requirements and communicated with us at every stage of the process. He even saved the day when our conveyancer underestimated how much wed need for settlement. Couldnt recommend Ash and his team more if youre buying a place. I will never use another mortgage broker.

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.
