Applying for a First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) can be an important step in purchasing your first home. The FHOG is a government incentive designed to assist eligible first home buyers with the costs associated with purchasing a property.
To be eligible for the FHOG, you must meet certain criteria, such as being an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and not having previously owned a home. The amount of the grant varies depending on the state or territory in which you are purchasing, and the type of property you are buying. Generally, the FHOG is paid as a lump sum after settlement has occurred.
