mgriffi Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi anyone know the answer. We have already bought a house on a 457 visa and paid the stamp duty. If we were to purchase after PR are we entitled to first time buyers grant? thanks griffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A first time buyers grant is for someone to buy their first home. The criteria being that they haven't bought a house in Australia before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewajp002 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 In Victoria the grant is 10k, I did not know this but sadly I wont be in a position when I move over to buy initially. Good to know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie2310 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I bought the high rise apartment off the plan before my PR grant, however my property agent told me that I shall entitled for first home grant and he put my name under PR category with grant.

Your case is different, the OP has already bought a house and is asking about grant eligibility for buying another house once PR is granted.
