First home plus one

First Home Plus One Scheme was replaced by the First Home – New Home scheme on 1 January 2012.

  • First Home Plus One allows eligible purchasers to buy property with other parties and still receive a concession.
  • To qualify, the eligible purchasers must buy at least 50 per cent of the property.
  • The value limits and other eligibility criteria of First Home Plus apply.

If the first home buyer’s spouse has previously owned a home or received a benefit under First Home Plus, the first home buyer will not be entitled to First Home Plus One, regardless of whether or not the spouse is also a purchaser.

Transfer duty is calculated with reference to the proportion of the property purchased by other parties. However, this interest is disregarded if it is not more than five per cent.

The tables below give a guide to the concession applicable.
