Stamp Duty Concession
If you’re an eligible first home buyer, you’ll pay zero stamp duty when you build or buy a new home. The property value thresholds for stamp duty relief have been removed, which means the stamp duty exemption is now available for all eligible first home buyers who buy a new home (houses, flats, units, townhouses, apartments), an off-the-plan apartment, a house and land package, or vacant land to build a new home.

Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee
A Commonwealth Government initiative to support eligible regional first home buyers purchase a home in regional areas with as little as a 5 per cent deposit and without needing lenders mortgage insurance.
Guarantor
A guarantor on a home loan (typically a parent or family member) is someone who provides a guarantee to a lender that they will be responsible for repaying the entire loan if the borrower can’t pay it back. The benefit for a borrower is that it may increase the amount they can borrow or prevent the borrower from needing to pay lenders mortgage insurance, however there are risks for the guarantor.
