Buying

To purchase a property, you will need a conveyancer to facilitate the documents

required for the transfer of ownership. This is a legal requirement.

First Home Buyers are encouraged to contact us once they are interested in purchasing so that we are able to go through the contracts and provide the necessary advice

prior to signing the contract of sale, which we do free of charge.

A $10,000 First Home Buyers Grant (FHOG) is available to those

buying or building their first home.

To be eligible for the first home buyers grant you must fulfil the following:

• Not previously received the FHOG before.

• Not owned a home or residential property in Australia previously, either jointly or separately.

• Must occupy the purchased or built home for at least 12 months, commencing within 12 months of settlement or completion of construction.

• Must be an Australian Citizen or permanent resident.

• The contract price for the home, must be $750,000 or less. For an off the plan purchase it is the contract price not the dutiable value that must be $750,000 or less. When you sign a contract to buildna home it is the contract to build price that must be $750,000 or less.

Stamp duty is a tax that governments charge for certain documents and transactions.

This includes buying a home, land, or investment property. The amount of stamp duty you will need to pay will

depend on:

• The value of your property or sale cost (whichever is higher)

• The location of your property (each state varies)

• The type of property (Unit, House, Land, Investment)

• Whether you are a first home buyer.

• Whether you are classified as a foreign buyer.
