First Home Buyers in Queensland
The Queensland Government is assisting people to buy or build their first home through the $7,000 First Home Owner Grant (FHOG). If you have never owned a residential property in Australia before and you are a permanent Australian resident then you may be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant.

APD Lending Services are Mortgage Brokers with specialist home loan experience for first home buyers in Brisbane, Queensland.

If your partner has been living with you for more then 2 years then they will be considered a spouse. If your spouse has owned a residential property in Australia before then you will not be eligible for the FHOG.

WHAT HOMES QUALIFY?

The home can be a new or established dwelling including a house, flat, unit, townhouse, or apartment anywhere in Queensland that meets local planning standards. The dwelling must be used as your principal place of residence within 12 months of the date of settlement for the purchase of an established home or, if building a new first home on land in Queensland, within 12 months from the date of completion of the building.

For the purchase of an existing dwelling, the grant payment will be made at settlement. For a contract to build, payment will be made on the first progress payment (first draw down on the loan). APD Lending Services will assist you to complete the relevant documentation to ensure that if eligible these funds are made available to you.
