The process is pretty quick once your application is accepted. When we eventually signed contracts we were given the keys the next day.

Re: 1st Home Buyer - Stamp Duty - Sydney

Thanks ABCDiamond, but this will be our first property ever (anywhere in the world) - we haven't bought before, so even if they do cut back on the grants or concessions it shouldn't affect us?
