    Hi Shrimpo,

    If you were to receive your first home owners grant, you need to live in your home for 6 months, within the first 12 months of owning the home. there are further details at http://www.firsthome.gov.au/

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers
    Lyndon

    Almost – just to explain it a bit tighter is that the 6 months residency needs to start within the first 12 months. ie you can buy in Jan and move in the following December through to June and still get to keep the FHOG.
