Perth First Home Buyer Schemes

It’s an excellent moment to be a First Home Buyer, as numerous grants and incentives are available to assist you in acquiring your own home more quickly.

1. First Home Owner Grant (FHOG)

The First Home Owner Grant is a fantastic boost for first home buyers building or purchasing a brand-new home. Eligible buyers can receive up to $10,000 to put towards their first home build.

This grant can make a big difference when it comes to upfront costs, and our team will help you check your eligibility and ensure your application is handled smoothly.

2. Keystart Home Loans

Saving a large deposit can be one of the biggest hurdles for first home buyers, but with Keystart, owning your home could be closer than you think.

Keystart is designed to help first home buyers get into the property market sooner, offering low-deposit home loans and flexible lending criteria. With this option, you won’t need to wait years to save a 20% deposit.

3. Stamp Duty Exemptions

Stamp duty can add thousands to the cost of buying a home, but as a first home buyer, you could be eligible for reduced or even zero stamp duty. This means more of your savings can go directly into your new home rather than upfront fees.

Built my first home in Perth with Winning Homes IQ and had a really smooth experience. As a first home buyer, they made the whole home building process in Perth easy to understand - from choosing the right house and land package to finalising everything. I also went through Finance IQ for the finance, which made the whole journey even more seamless. Really happy with the build quality and how everything came together. Definitely recommend Winning Homes IQ if you’re building your first home.

The team has been so helpful. It’s my first home and I was so scared but they guided me through everything and kept me updated the whole time. My home has just gone through lock-up and it's coming together so nicely. I’m so excited to see the end result. Thanks Winning Homes IQ

I recently built my first home with Winning Homes IQ and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. From the start, the team was so friendly and easy to deal with. As someone who had never done this before, I had a million questions, and they were always patient and helpful. The whole process felt way less stressful than I expected, and I always felt like I was in good hands. The house turned out even better than I imagined 🙂 Big thanks to the whole team!
