Hi,

Was hoping someone could provide some advice.  My partner and I are about to finalise our contract to build a house.  I have never applied for the FHOG but my partner has in a previous relationship.  Is there any way we can still get the FHOG even though she has previously used it.  Having a quick look on the FHOG website it talks about defacto relationships but we have lived together for less than 2 years.  I have heard from various people and also an adviser from the FHOG office that if only my name is on the title of the property we can receive the grant.  Is this correct?  We are a bit scared that if we do receive it and a few years down the track they realise we shouldnt have received it we are left with a hefty amount to repay, plus interest.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
