I will be trying out a few different lenders and mortgage brokers and see how we go. I just feel it's really unfair given that i've got so much cash, yet we can only be loaned such a small amount, even though the house we bought would obviously have a huge equity instantly. Anyway, just so frustrating! But thanks…[Read more]

We mean, buying a house for $420k and keeping the adelaide house which pays for itself. On a $1k wage we should be able to afford repayments of $630/wk based on a 30yr loan term.. ?

Revenue SA helped me get everything sorted and told me what to do I also saw a solicitor about it.  They were very helpful!

Geez, I was totally stoked when i found out i qualified, for sure. i guess not being in a r/ship with him helped, and not having my name on the title,,,..…[Read more]

My name wasn't originally on the 'title' only the mortgage, so when i bought my ex partner out, my name had never been down as owning any property, therefore i received the Grant! Was very suprised but happy about this! I would suggest put the titles in separate names and…[Read more]

I was able to get the FHOG after my previous partner had already received it on the same property! that was because my name wasn't on the 'title' only the mortgage loan
