The Australian Government has implemented a time-limited grant (HomeBuilder) ,which, will distribute $25,000 tax free to eligible owner-occupiers to build a new home or substantially renovate an existing home.
The National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation, which is the government body administrating the scheme guarantees to participating lenders up to 15% of the value of properties purchased through finance by an eligible first home buyer’s home loan. This guarantee allows first home buyers to purchase a property with as little as a 5% deposit without having to pay for lenders mortgage insurance.
