Question about the 7k First Time Home owners grant
I've just read on Aussie move that should you build your own home in Perth the 7000 AUD grant doubles to 14K?
Is this so?

Not sure of the exact figures but they do give more for house builders as it costs more to build than buy an established house (not always if you are careful). Some builders do packages which include curtains/carpets etc, I think you do have to have that in order to qualify but not 100% sure.

There is one sum only $7000 for building or buying established.
The grant was initially 14,000 then 10,000 now its the 7000. The 14,000 information remains on the site as people only receive the money once they have completed construction. Building times now including all the application processes would be at least a year now so some people are still owed the 14,000 which is why that info remains. Grant was brought in to offset the introduction of GST, as that was years ago! its debatable how much longer the scheme will remain.

Sorry if that info was wrong, I was going by what we were told by Dale Alcock builders when we asked about building 3 years ago.
