First time buyers
Hi,
does anyone know much about the first time home buyers grant? Anyone had it? We did own a property in the UK but when I check the eligibility criteria it just says that you must not have owned a property in Oz and you must be permanent resident.
i'm in queensland.
thanks

Re: First time buyers
If you are a first time buyer in WA and the property is under $400,000 you can also apply for an additional $2000 under the First Home Buyers Assistant Fund

Re: First time buyers
the forms are real easy to fill out. I did not realise i could get it and applied 8 months after i bought the house, they paid the money straight into my bank

Re: First time buyers
What about land, is there stamp duty on land in queensland?
Just taking this as an example lets say $200 for the land and house lets say $220 and it was your first oz home what would you be looking at paying on top of that??
Sorry to but in

Re: First time buyers
The basic rule of thumb is that if it's something that has to be registered with the government then there is stamp duty...Land, house title, vehicle.
