    G’day all,

    Can a first home buyer use the first home buyers grant to purchase a block of land for investment?

    Or do they have to be purchasing a house to live in?

    Cheers

    Wayne

    Wayne,

    It is for a home – not any sort of investment.

    They can buy land and may apply for the FHOG when their home is built.

    thanks Simon!

    If a first home buyer did buy a block of land as their first piece of property, would they still get away with not having to pay stamp duty?

    btw, did u get my email bout my other post?

    cheers

    Wayne,

    Replied to your email.

    Not sure what your state’s requirements are for the stamp duty exemptions. Suggest you contact your Office of state revenue or siilar – the links are on my FHOG page at my website.
