Hello, we're the professionals who will get you the best home loan deal. Our experienced team is led by Ashley Koenig, Cameron Price and Stephen Zamykal who have been working in the Melbourne mortgage broking and finance industry for 22, 17 and 23 years, respectively.

For more than 20 years, our office has been conveniently located at 469 LaTrobe St, Melbourne. However, in light of the Covid pandemic and the changing landscape of the business world, we have made the difficult decision to close our office in La Trobe Street.

But don't worry, we still serve Melbourne CBD, Docklands, West Melbourne, St Kilda Road and Southbank. In addition to this, we opened two new office locations:

Brighton:

Suite 4/ 2-8 St Andrews Street, Brighton, VIC 3186

We talked to a few mortgage brokers but none that suited. We found Stephen Zamykal through a book he wrote some years ago. Much to our surprise and delight, we found out that he was still a practicing mortgage broker. He and his team, especially Sharon Rae have been superb in communication and their expertise, work ethic and persistence were clearly evident throughout the whole process. Needless to say, we wholeheartedly endorse them and their services as first class mortgage brokers.

Mortgage Choice helped me acquire my home loan and just recently refinancing. Honestly it couldn't have been easier with the team helping me through all the steps to take and taking the time to explain anything I didn't quite understand.
I highly recommend using Mortgage Choice
You will not be let down by the outstanding service provided.

I recently went through the process of buying a house. I was fortunate enough to be involved with mortgage choice throughout. I found them to be great communicators and speedy in the process of arranging the approval for the loan with the bank, particularly under a time crunch. I would use mortgage choice again and recommend them to all my friends and family.

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.
