The government will work with its lending partner to determine how much of the loan’s funding would be available to the borrower after an equity contribution.

Can a first homebuyer enroll in the shared equity scheme and avoid paying stamp duty?

The shared equity scheme does not change the way first homebuyers are taxed. If you’re buying your first home, you may be eligible for a concession or exemption from stamp duty. If a person is not eligible for any duty exemptions or concessions, full duty is charged.

How can I apply to the Help to Buy Scheme?
#

The process for applying to this help to buy scheme will be posted on the approved lending partner’s website by January 2023. When the scheme is open for applications, you will be able to apply on the website of an approved lender.

Can I access the help to buy schemes for both the NSW and Commonwealth Government for the one property?
