The Victorian Government recently introduced changes targeted at first home buyers. The initiatives include raising the FHOG (First Home Owners Grant) in regional areas and abolishing stamp duty. For some people, the increase in the FHOG could remove the deposit/savings history obstacle - selected lenders (check with yours, please) will allow the grant to be used as such.
We recommend that you discuss any FHOG initiatives with your New Home Advisor and our Mortgage Domayne finance consultants. For more information and eligibility criteria, we urge all first home buyers to visit State Revenue Office Victoria.
In addition to the FHOG government assistance, first home buyers are also eligible for concessions on stamp duty for the purchase of vacant land.
That means, as a first home buyer, you are exempt from Stamp Duty on your land up to $300,000.
