PURCHASING A PROPERTY
The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) scheme is used to give the owners of newly built properties a boost of up to $10,000 towards the purchase.
If you are buying or building a new home valued up to $750,000 and signed your contract on or after 1 July 2013, you may be eligible. The home must not have been previously sold or occupied to be eligible for the FHOG.
The property must not have been previously sold as a place of residence, occupied as a home, or used for the provision of short-term accommodation, such as Airbnb.
You’re not eligible for the FHOG if you or your spouse/partner have already:
- Received the FHOG in Australia
- Owned a home or other residential property in Australia, either jointly or separately, prior to 1 July 2000.
- Lived in a home in Australia which either of you owned or part-owned on or after 1 July 2000, for a continuous period of at least six months.
These criteria apply even if your spouse/partner is not an applicant with you for the FHOG.
