It’s an exciting time for you as a First Home Buyer, but you need to be cautious and follow the right procedure.

For you, at the moment, the most important issue is the date you get to move into your new home. You have planned the day, booked the removalist, requested time off work and asked friends to help. But there are a lot of steps which are required to be followed to successfully reach this outcome.

Conveyancing for First Home Buyers

Being a First Home Buyer is not an excuse to get the process wrong. Penalties may apply if you fail to meet your commitments. At worst you may put the deal in jeopardy. It is important for you to obtain legal advice prior to signing the Contract to buy your home. The good news is Koolik & Associates are here to help you.

As it is necessary to follow each step in the process, our conveyancing team will guide you through the process in order to reach your move-in date as smoothly as possible. We will explain the kind of searches that are applicable to you and your property as not all situations are the same.

Some benefits of being a First Home Buyer include:

  • Possible exemption or reduced Transfer Duty costs depending on the value of the property as the property will be your home, otherwise called your Principal Place of Residence
  • If your contract is dated 1 July 2018 or later, you can get $15,000 towards buying or building your new house, unit or townhouse (valued at less than $750,000). The grant is paid per new home; not to each of the applicants for the same home.
