My husband and I used David and Georgia to refinance our home and they got us the best deal for us, recently I asked them again to help with a much smaller loan, and they took just as much care with it even though such a small loan would not have helped their business financially. It shows they actually care about their clients. We highly recommend them

David, Georgia and the team have been amazing to deal with. Our loan application was certainly trickier than the standard application with moving objectives and nothing seemed too difficult for them and so relieved with the positive outcome. I personally highly recommend them

David has been our mortgage advisor since 2004 when we bought our very first home. Since then he has efficiently and confidently assisted us to purchase other homes here in Australia and Scotland. His Team now with Georgia and Vanessa continue to provide such a high standard of care and explanation through the property purchase process. Highly recommended

David and Georgia have been fantastic to deal with and we highly recommend their services. Their knowledge and advice makes the process smooth and less stressful. We wish we had of known them when we bought our first home

What an amazing team David and Georgia. All the way through 'you'll never walk alone'. They take the time and the patience to explain everything in plain english. You feel secure and in good hands. They make the impossible possible. But over all it was like talking to a long-time friend. Georgia even recommended the solicitor she used before. The three musketiers. They were smashing. You just sit back and celebrate when it is all done for you. Thank you so much friends. Ivonne Roy

18 September 2023

David and Georgia are an amazing team. After unexpectedly being let down by a bank close to financial deadline, David did the seemingly impossible getting my loan across the line in just the few days extension granted. I am very impressed with his willingness to avail himself at all hours of the day and evening to answer questions and assist in any way possible.
David minimized the stress of the whole process.
My only regret is that I didn't know about David and his team sooner.

Extra Information

Home Buyer Concession Scheme

From 1 July 2019, the FHOG ACT has been replaced with exemptions on stamp duty. The stamp duty exemption is applicable to all properties in ACT, including vacant residential land and both new and established homes at any price. As this is still to aid first home buyers, to be eligible at least one buyer must live in the home for at least 12 months, starting within 12 months of settlement or completion of construction.

To be eligible, first homeowners in the ACT must have a household income below $160,000. This number increases up to $176,650 depending on the number of children you may have.

Stamp duty concessions in NSW

From 1 August 2020, the NSW government has announced that stamp duty will not be applicable to first home buyers for properties valued up to $800,000 and vacant land valued up to $400,000. This stamp duty exemption will be in place for 12 months to 31 July 2021, in which the stamp duty exemptions will revert back to $650,000 for homes and $350,000 for land.

Additionally, a concessional rate of duty will apply to homes valued more than $800,000 but less than $1,000,000 and vacant blocks of land valued more than $400,000 and less than $500,000

How much is the First Home Owners Grant NSW?

The FHOG in NSW is worth $10,000 however conditions apply. To be eligible, your first home must have a total value below $600,000, and be either newly constructed or ‘substantially renovated’. A home is substantially renovated when most or all of the original house was removed or replaced, and it’s the first time the place has been sold, and lived in, after the renovations were completed.

If you plan to build a new home from scratch, you can still be eligible for the FHOG in NSW as long as your land plus the home you build have a combined value of less than $750,000.

Additionally, savings on stamp duty may still be available if you pay between $500,000 and $550,000 for your first home. As a guide, if your first home is worth $530,000, you pay stamp duty of $6,300 a saving of $3,500. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more.
