Would 100% recommend pene to anyone needing a broker, she went above and beyond to help a couple clueless first home buyers make a purchase with minimal stress and kept us well informed throughout the whole process, any questions we had pene was quick to answer with great knowledge whether it was during business hours, after hours or even on the odd public holliday. Couldn’t recommend anyone more!

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.
