    Hi,

    I was reading a thread last week and didn’t bookmark it and now I can’t find it.

    I remember reading something about buying land and using the FHOG then a rule of having to build within 4 years???

    Can anyone point me to that thread?

    Thanks, Mei

    Hi Meilin08

    Is the grant available on the purchase of a vacant block of land?
    No. The grant is only available for the purchase of an established home, a contract to build, an eligible new home or an owner builder.

    Hi Clone

    That’s why I’m looking for that thread to read up again. Can anyone help?

    Is Clone right about the FHOG not being available for a block of land?

    Thanks, Mei

    Hi Clone,

    You are right – can’t get FHOG for a block of land. I’ll rephrase my question.

    If you buy a block of land under $150,000 and you are a first home buyer you do not have to pay stamp duty.

    So to receive the $7000 FHPG when you build – do you have to build within a specific time period? is that period 4 years?

    Does anyone know?

    Thanks, Mei

    Not sure of the answer, but just do a search for First Home Owners on Google and see what the rules are for you state.
