Guest David Mottram Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 As you may have seen on the news, the First Home Owners Grant has been extended to the end of Septemeber: Remember, to qualiy, you need to be on a Perm Visa on day of putting in an offer on a property and never owned property in AU. In WA: Until 30th September 2009 Established Property = $14,000 New Build = $21,000 From 1st October - 31st December 2009 Established Property = $10,500 New Build = $14,000 I have found that the info given out by the government has confused my clients.

Guest cartertucker Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thankyou for this usefull post, can I just ask, if we are moving say after March 2010 & probably not buying a property until summer 2010.... Will we be entitled to any of these benefits on a 176 SS visa? Many thanks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Mottram Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi. The 176 Visa is classed as perm visa, so should quallify. The expectation is that the Grant will revert back to $7,000 from 1st Jan 2010. But as a first home owner you would save from paying Stamp Duty Tax also, which saves you approx $10-20k. and with AU Interest rates at a 40 year low its a good time to buy (in the right area. I hope this helps. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Thanks for that info. It clears up a few pointers as some of my clients too are getting confused. Sorry about golf today, or lack thereof. We did a supervised burn-off on our block as we have piles and piles of fallen trees and other debris. I wanted to get it finished and couldn't leave it unattended. We can have a hit next week at Carramar if you are free..........weather permitting that is........ the forecast doesn't look too bright?
