My wife had a property in her name back in 1998 before the first home buyers grant. Sold out 10 mths later. I have never owned a property. Is there any way for us to enter the home market (even just on my own wage) to receive the first home buyers grant?

My wife did not make any money on the sale of her property due to paying off debts.

Hi Graham. There is a question on the application for the first home buyers grant that asks if you or your spouse or partner have ever received a grant.
You are required to answer this honestly.
Based on what you wrote you would not be entitled to the grant.

hi
if neither of you have lived in the property and have not claimed the grant, you will be eligible for it provided the purchase price is less than $750,000 in NSW.
hope that helps.
