Can I get the grant on an off the plan apartment in Queensland?

Yes. An off the plan apartment or townhouse counts as a new home, so it can qualify for the Queensland first home buyer help, as long as it has not been previously occupied and you meet the other criteria.

Why this matters

Off the plan purchases are treated as new homes because they have never been lived in, so they can attract the grant and any new home duty help. The usual eligibility and residence rules still apply once the property is completed and you move in.

The key points
