HomeBuilder Grant Extension

25 Jan 2021

If you are buying a new home, whether as an investor or owner/occupier, you may still be able to get a grant under the Homebuilder Program.

On 29 November 2020, the Australian Government announced an extension to the HomeBuilder program to 31 March 2021, with a number of changes to the grant amount and eligibility criteria.

Key Dates

4 June 2020 – 31 December 2020 – enter into a contract between these dates to build a new home, substantially renovate an existing home or buy an off the plan home/new home to be eligible for the $25,000 grant
1 January 2021 – 31 March 2021 – enter into a contract between these dates to build a new home, substantially renovate an existing home or buy and off the plan home/new home to be eligible for the $15,000 grant
14 April 2021 – all applications, irrespective of when the eligible contract was signed, must be submitted within the HomeBuilder application portal by this date.

While applications must be submitted by 14 April 2021, it does not mean that all supporting documents must be uploaded by then. You can continue uploading your supporting documents, as they become available, beyond 14 April 2021.

When looking for a property for my parents, I was introduced to Tony. After I described my requirements, he took the time to show me areas that fulfilled my requirements, and then specific locations, floor plans and similar new homes that he believed, based on my criteria, would be suitable. Thank you Tony.

Tony and his team were willing to go the extra mile to show us properties in new and growing areas that would be suitable to include in our investment portfolio. Following our earlier success in securing a new build on land in the Newcastle region, we were keen to investigate other locations which would provide capital growth and good rental return with a low vacancy factor. His team thoroughly researched all those requirements and provided great options.

Tony and his team assisted us in buying a new off-the-plan home for investment purposes. We were given plenty of information on the location and trends in the area, and the types of properties that were popular with tenants. Tony has many trusted contacts in real estate and associated industries, and referred us to a quantity surveyor who has helped us claim a lot more depreciation than we thought we could, and to a great property manager that is making our life easy for us as landlords. It’s been a very successful relationship!
