Cheers. Are you eligible to receive the grant?
To be eligible to receive the grant, the following criteria must be satisfied:
- You and your spouse/partner must not have received a grant in any State or Territory of Australia.
- You and your spouse/partner must not have owned residential property, either jointly, separately or with some other person prior to 1 July 2000, in any State or Territory of Australia
- You and your spouse/partner must not have occupied for a continuous period of at least 6 months, a residential property in which either of you acquired a relevant interest on or after 1 July 2000 in any State or Territory of Australia.
- You must be a natural person (not a company) and at least 18 years of age at the time of settlement or completion of construction
The bold section is the key. It allows you to hold any property after July 2000 as long as you never live in it.
