Regional Checker
Buying in a regional area
The Regional Checker helps you to work out if you can buy a home in a particular regional location, based on where you live now, and where you want to buy.
Use the tool to confirm that the location you want to buy is in a defined regional area that can be supported under the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee.
You can also use the tool to check that the location you live in and are buying in are adjacent to each other. This is because one of the eligibility criteria of the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee is that you (or a joint applicant) must have lived in the same or adjacent regional area that you’re buying in, for the 12 months up to the Home Loan Date.
To use the tool, enter the location/postcode of your current home in the first box below, and the location/postcode you'd like to buy in in the second box below.
