Even if you meet the eligibility criteria, some circumstances may stop you from getting the grant. These are known as ‘disqualifying arrangements’.
Disqualifying arrangements can include:
- buying or building your home with financial help from a related person (who is not eligible for the grant) who will also stay in the home often or live in the home for long periods of time
- entering into an arrangement for the main purpose of getting the grant, rather than to get a home.
Money borrowed from a bank or lending institution to purchase your home is not considered to be financial help.
If there is a disqualifying arrangement, we will not pay the grant. If the grant has already been paid, you will have to repay it.
