Are you dreaming of owning your first home in Queensland? The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a fantastic initiative designed to help you turn that dream into reality. With financial assistance of $15,000 or $30,000 towards buying or building a new home, this grant makes homeownership more accessible than ever!

How Much Can You Get?

The amount you can receive from the grant depends on when you signed your contract:

  • $30,000 for contracts signed between 20 November 2023 and 30 June 2025.
  • $15,000 for contracts signed before 20 November 2023.

If you are an owner-builder, the grant amounts are the same, depending on when the foundations of your home are laid.

Am I Eligible?

To qualify for the FHOG, you must meet specific criteria:

  1. Age: You need to be at least 18 years old.
  2. Citizenship: You must be an Australian citizen or a permanent resident. If you’re applying jointly, at least one applicant must meet this requirement.
  3. Previous Home Ownership: Neither you nor your spouse should have owned residential property in Australia since 1 July 2000.
  4. Residential Requirements: You must move into your new home within 1 year and live there continuously for 6 months.

Importantly, your income does not affect your eligibility for the grant.

What Homes Qualify?

The grant applies to new homes valued at less than $750,000. Eligible properties can include:

  • Houses, units, duplexes, or townhouses
  • Homes built on a relative’s land
  • Substantially renovated homes

You must ensure that the home has never been lived in or sold as a place of residence prior to your purchase.

How to Apply

My dealings with Scott Wilkinson at UNO, have been nothing short of exemplary. My refinance involved a bunch of moving parts due to a business debt, and Scott didn't stop until we got an excellent result! Great communication, easy online portals for data collection and, from all accounts, a great team working together to get results for their clients. I really can't thank Scott enough, for going the extra mile(s) to make this happen for me. 10/10 would recommend his services to anyone looking at a restructure, and I won't hesitate to reach out again, should I be in the position in the future.

The UNO Home Loans team provided a great experience. I'm an expat Aussie living in the UK who was looking for an investment property back home in Australia. Mike and the team guided me through the whole process from giving me an initial indication of how much I could borrow, to finding me a lender with an appropriate loan that met my needs, and finally through the settlement process with the bank. The team were always available to answer my questions very promptly. The whole experience was very easy and hassle free.

We chose Uno Home Loans from their impressive web site knowing we were going to find it hard, on many fronts, to qualify for a home loan. We were incredibly fortunate to be assigned Mike Parsons as right from the get-go, despite the complexities, he hit the ground running for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable, with years of experience but what was immediately apparent and impressive was that he was totally invested in getting us over the line, doing absolutely everything possible, including working around the clock. Despite it being a relatively small loan in the order of things, Mike never missed a beat, getting docs ready, following up and answering every request from the proposed funder immediately. He kept us informed on progress the minute anything happened, and again if anything needed to be done, he was right on it. In short, we highly recommend Uno, and Mike, knowing what a remarkable job he did, over many weeks, to get us our loan. He got us a great deal, with far better rates than we expected, so we couldn't be happier. In fact, without doubt, you'd be hard pressed to find a more personable, sharp, hard working, dedicated professional who clearly prides himself on getting his customers standout results.
