The Buy New Qld Initiative is a Queensland government program created to assist first time home buyers. As one of the best property investment opportunities for these buyers, this initiative helps first timers get onto the property ladder earlier than otherwise possible. You could even qualify for up to $20,000 when purchasing (including off plan properties) brand new Queensland properties before 31 December 2017; established homes are ineligible.
Queensland government initiatives that assist home buyers and property investors include the First Home Owner Grant, reduced transfer duty rate and First Australians Housing Fund – providing thousands of affordable homes for Queenslanders.
Queensland government is taking an early lead in implementing the federal government’s proposed national Help to Buy shared equity scheme for home ownership. They intend to introduce legislation before year’s end which will enable this to take place here.
There has never been a more ideal time to purchase your first Queensland property than now. Not only are there affordable properties on the east coast available for purchase; first home buyer incentives from the state government make entering the property market even simpler than before.
Brand new Queensland properties provide many lifestyle features that make them the ideal first home. Expect modern, stylish apartments close to shops and public transport that come equipped with internal amenities that make life simpler for residents; for instance off the plan apartments in new suburbs often come complete with gyms, rooftop terraces, swimming pools and even teppanyaki grills!
New Queensland properties are built to last, backed by strong warranties and guarantees to give you peace of mind. Builders must also meet stringent environmental, health, and safety regulations – this means building to the highest standards to protect families while simultaneously limiting noise levels and energy use.
