First Home Owner Grants

Request An Appointment

    The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a government incentive designed to help eligible first-time buyers get into the property market. While this grant is usually submitted by your bank or mortgage broker before settlement, sometimes it’s missed due to oversight, lender delays or incomplete paperwork.

    If that’s happened to you don’t worry. Singh Property Transfers can step in and help you lodge a First Home Owner Grant refund application with the State Revenue Office (SRO) Victoria.

    What is the First Home Owner Grant?

    The First Home Owner Grant is a one-time, tax-free payment of $10,000 (for eligible homes valued up to $750,000) to assist with the purchase or construction of your first home in Victoria.

    To qualify, you must:

    • Be a first-time home buyer purchasing a new or substantially renovated home

    • Intend to live in the property as your principal place of residence

    • Meet residency and citizenship eligibility criteria

    • Not have previously received the FHOG in any state or territory

    If you were eligible but didn’t apply at the time of purchase, you may still be able to claim a refund retrospectively.

    Why would the FHOG not be lodged before settlement?

    There are several common reasons your First Home Owner Grant may not have been submitted in time:

    • Your lender/broker forgot to submit it

    • You didn’t complete the FHOG application form

    • The grant was not applicable through your lender’s channel

    • The bank didn’t need it to fund your settlement, so it wasn’t prioritised

    Regardless of the reason, you can still claim it after settlement you just need the right legal support.
