Hi Terry, Thanks for your reply. Whats i should have said is that i purchased the 1st property when i was single. Ive been living to gether with my partner for approx 1 year so we arent technically defacto yet (minimum 2 years living together to qualify as a defacto). so we would both still be classed as single but soon to be defacto within about a year. Do you think this would change anything?

Eg would the best option be for my partner to purchase the 2nd home as she would still qualify for the fhog and could the grant money be used as a deposit?
