FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Find quick answers to commonly asked First Home Buyer questions.

What's my first steps to building a home?

Start by determining your budget and getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This will give you a clear idea of what you can afford. Then, start researching different neighbourhoods and builders to find the best fit for your needs.

What are the available governments grants?

There are several government grants and assistance programs available. Our team can help you navigate these options and determine your eligibility. Learn more here

How much deposit do I need?

The deposit amount varies depending on the lender and your financial situation. Generally, you'll need at least 5% of the purchase price. However, a larger deposit can potentially help you secure a better interest rate and may reduce your loan repayments.

What are the different home loan options?

There are various home loan options, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and split loans. Our team can put you in touch with finance experts who can explain the different loans and find the best one for your first home needs.

How long does it take to build a new home?

The construction timeline varies depending on the size, inclusions and complexity of the home. Generally, it takes anywhere between 5 and 12 months to build a standard new home.

What's the pre-construction process?

The pre-construction process includes selecting your block of land, choosing your house design, signing your building contract and finalising your colour selections. Our team will guide you through each step.

What's a 'turnkey' package?

A turnkey package includes everything you need to move into your new home, from the build itself to simple landscaping, fencing, and window coverings. It's a hassle-free option for first home buyers.

How do I choose the right builder?

Look for a builder with a strong reputation, experience in building quality homes, and a commitment to customer service. We recommend reading online reviews and testimonials, visiting display homes, and talking to past clients.

What are the ongoing costs?

In addition to your mortgage repayments, you'll need to budget for council rates, water and sewerage charges (acreage), termite inspections, building insurance, and ongoing maintenance.

Are there any stamp duty concessions?

You can claim a first home concession for transfer (stamp) duty when acquiring your first residence if you meet certain requirements.

We recommend visiting the Queensland Revenue Office to learn more.

I am currently awaiting the third stage in the build journey, leading up to contract. So far I have nothing but good things to say about Ausmar! From the very first appointment with their home consultant, Johan Lundkvist, I was thoroughly impressed with his, professionalism, communication, and overall approach. Johan has gone above and beyond ... Combined with my own knowledge of Ausmar’s reputation within the industry (I also work in construction), it was Johan’s exceptional service that played a crucial role in my decision to choose Ausmar as my builder. I will certainly be recommending both Johan and Ausmar to anyone looking to build their home.

“As first-time homebuyers, we were initially apprehensive about the building process, but AUSMAR made the entire journey smooth, clear, and incredibly stress-free. From the very beginning, their team was not only professional but also genuinely supportive, guiding us through every step with patience and expertise. The communication was outstanding - always prompt, transparent, and thorough—making us feel confident and informed at each stage. We truly appreciated how they explained the details and worked closely with us to ensure our vision came to life.”

“I am at the start of my very first build. The sales process with Ian was very smooth, he was able to answer all the questions I had and help me to choose a design that suited my needs. Ben and Janine have both gone above and beyond to provide me with information and to help guide me through the process, due to it being my first build I have had lots of questions and things that I’m not sure on. I’m very excited to continue this process with AUSMAR, it has been a great experience so far and I can’t wait to see the finished results.”

“Our experience with AUSMAR to design our house has been nothing short of fabulous! Johan was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process always doing everything he could to make our vision come to life. Therese does such an amazing job at keeping us in the loop which is so important to us since we currently live in a different state and Rebecca made our colour selections day so enjoyable and we breezed through it with all her knowledge and support. I couldn’t recommend the AUSMAR team more 6/5 stars for sure!”
