The Australian Government is extending the highly effective HomeBuilder programme. HomeBuilder provides eligible owner-occupiers with a grant to build a new home or substantially renovate an existing home.
It came as great news for home buyers when the Australian Government announced the extension of the HomeBuilder grant to March 2021. This grant is available to eligible owner-occupiers (including first home buyers) when building a new home or substantially renovating an existing home.
What is HomeBuilder?
HomeBuilder is a tax-free grant that has been developed by the Australian Government to boost the residential construction market which has been impacted during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Eligible owner-occupiers will be able to access the HomeBuilder grant when building a new home or substantially renovating an existing home. The construction or renovation will need to commence within six months of the contract date.
