Poly Australia to re-release apartments under $800,000 for first-home-buyers

Announcement posted by Poly Australia 29 Jun 2017

Poly Australia is preparing to re-release Poly Horizon apartments taken off market when the NSW government announced changes to stamp duty

Sydney, Thursday 29 June 2017 – Last month, in response to NSW government initiatives to assist first-home-buyers, International developer Poly Australia announced it would hold back all remaining apartments at their premier development, Poly Horizon in Epping, saving them for first-home-buyers.

Now, Poly Australia is preparing to re-release these apartments back to the market, as promised, at the exact same price they were taken off the market.

“This will allow first-home-buyers to secure an apartment within the NSW Governments set parameters, taking advantage of discounted stamp duty and a $10,000 first-home-owners grant,” said Poly Australia Sales and Marketing Director Jay Carter.

Since announcing the initiative last month, Poly Australia has experienced a number of enquiries from foreign buyers looking to avoid the hikes in stamp duty, however has committed to holding any apartments under the $800,000 threshold for first-home-buyers.

“As expected, we have seen a spike in enquiry from foreign purchasers who want to secure property at the lower tax rate, however anything under $800,000 is being held, as promised, so that first-home-buyers can have the first opportunity once the stamp duty discounts take effect.”

Mr Carter added that it was difficult to turn away buyers who were looking to exchange before June 30, however was happy to assist in finding a solution for them.

“Several of the buyers we initially turned away for the lower priced apartments actually ended up purchasing some of the units that were just over the $800,000 price point,” he said. 

Poly Australia will be releasing 23 apartments priced below $800,000 at Poly Horizon in Epping on July 1st. First-home-buyers will be given the first opportunity to purchase these apartments to take advantage of discounted stamp duty and a $10,000 first-home-buyers grant.
