Grants & Incentives
Building a new home in Aintree, VIC opens access to some of Australia's most generous government incentives. Below is a complete guide to the grants, concessions, and loan schemes available to eligible buyers in 2025.
The Victorian First Home Owner Grant provides $10,000 cash to eligible buyers building or purchasing a new home. To qualify when building in Aintree:
The FHOG is paid at the time of the first progressive draw-down on your construction loan — meaning you receive the $10,000 during the build. Nanche Group's finance partners assist with the application.
| Contract Price (Land + Build) | Stamp Duty Payable |
|---|---|
| Under $600,000 | $0 — full exemption |
| $600,001 – $750,000 | Concession (reducing scale) |
| Over $750,000 | Full stamp duty applies |
Example saving: A first home buyer building a $650,000 home and land package in Aintree would normally pay approximately $31,070 in stamp duty. With the first home buyer concession, this reduces to approximately $12,000 — a saving of over $19,000.
The Australian Government's First Home Guarantee allows eligible first home buyers to purchase or build a new home with a deposit as low as 5%, with the government guaranteeing up to 15% of the property value — meaning you avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) and keep more money in your pocket from day one. This can save buyers $15,000–$30,000 in LMI premiums.
The Victorian Government offers a shared equity scheme where the government co-contributes up to 25% of the purchase price. You own your home and can buy out the government's share over time.
A construction loan (progressive draw-down loan) works differently from a standard home loan:
Your lender settles the land purchase first. You begin paying interest on the land portion only.
As construction progresses through slab, frame, lock-up, fixing, and completion, your lender releases funds directly to your builder.
You only pay interest on funds drawn, not the full loan amount — keeping repayments low while construction is underway.
Once the build is complete, your loan converts to a standard principal-and-interest home loan.
