The FHOG is a financial aid program from the Queensland Government, aiming to make it easier to enter the property market. It is a one-off payment that can be used towards the cost of a new home and does not require any repayment. As of November 2023, the Queensland Government has doubled the FHOG to $30,000 until mid-2025.

1. No transfer (stamp) duty on the home, only on land value

Transfer duty is a cost to your new home that can sneak up on you. Also known as stamp duty, it is tax paid to the Queensland Government on the transfer of the property title from one person to another, the buyer and the seller. However, when you choose to build a new home, there’s no stamp duty payable on the construction costs of the new home, only on the land value – saving you thousands!

2. Built for you, to suit your lifestyle

When you build, you have a say in every aspect of your home’s planning. From the floorplan to the facade, and even down to the colours, materials and appliances – it’s all designed to reflect you and your lifestyle.

3. Lifetime structural guarantee

At Clarendon Homes, every home we build is covered by a Lifetime Structural Guarantee, giving you peace of mind for the lifetime of your occupancy. 

Payment of the grant varies depending on how and when you apply, and whether you are building or buying. Read more about the different stages the grant is paid and obligations at Queensland Revenue Office. 

Clarendon Homes builds from coast to coast, from as far north as Peregian Springs on the Sunshine Coast to as far south as the border, and west to as far as Rosewood - just past Ipswich. To see if Clarendon builds in your area, see where we build.
