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 for first home buyers in Queensland, including the new Boost to Buy scheme, the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG), and the Federal Help to Buy program. Each option has different eligibility criteria, income limits, and property price caps.

Our team can walk you through what’s available, explain how these schemes work, and help you determine which ones you may qualify for - potentially combining them to maximise your buying power.

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.

"Our experience with AUSMAR so far has been stress free and enjoyable. Living interstate and being first home buyers, we expected challenges as most people's default response was that everything was so much easier face to face, but this was never an issue with Nadia. Though we are still early stages, I wanted to specifically acknowledge Nadia, who has made the first few months an absolute breeze.
Nadia has taken so much time to answer every single question, explain everything honestly and transparently without jargon, and her communication has genuinely been second to none. She has truly gone above and beyond. From the first point of engagement she helped us design something perfect for us, with as much care as if she were doing it for herself... I couldn't recommend Nadia enough and we so greatly appreciate her many hours on phone and Facetime calls, emails, planning, altering and everything in between..."

"Thank you to the Ausmar team for your support throughout the entire building process. We would especially like to acknowledge Andrew, who was our first point of contact and helped us begin this journey, as well as Georgia, Stuart, and Tracy. Communication was consistently prompt and professional. Overall, we are very pleased with the result. The finished terrace is beautiful, and we already feel at home. It is worth noting that the construction process took the full duration outlined in the contract (building time : 1 year). We have only been living in the property for one week and remain within the 12-month warranty period, so we will continue engaging with Ausmar as needed. That said, we expect everything will continue to run smoothly."

"Being our first build, I am glad we went with Ausmar. From when we first looked at their display home, to securing land and the whole build process. We were always kept up to date, and were able to get handover with only minimal delay. Really impressed with the process."
