In Part 3 of our First Home Buyer Special, we break down the key first home buyer schemes available in NSW, with a focus on how to reduce upfront costs and make buying your first property more achievable.
Lee and Alex from Innovative Home Loans, explain how the First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme works; including stamp duty exemptions for properties up to $800,000 and concessions up to $1 million. They also cover the owner-occupier requirements, timing rules, and common mistakes that can leave buyers with an unexpected stamp duty bill.
This episode further explores how different schemes can be used together, including low-deposit loans, guarantors, and government guarantees, and when it might make sense to pay a small amount of stamp duty to secure a better property or location.
Lee and Alex also talk through the First Home Super Saver Scheme, how it actually works in practice, who it suits, and what you need to set up well before buying. Finally, they touch on the upcoming Shared Equity Scheme, which could allow eligible buyers to purchase with as little as a 2% deposit.
If you’re serious about buying your first property and want clear, practical advice without the fluff, this episode is a must-listen.
