Property Price Caps
The Home Guarantee Scheme helps home buyers to buy a home. Maximum price caps apply and vary by location. Price caps are the same for all Guarantees.
Note both the purchase price and the Property Value must not exceed the price cap. For new builds with vacant land and a separate contract to build a home, the combined land purchase price and build cost must be equal to or under the price cap.
Property Value is assessed by the Participating Lender, and it may be different to the purchase price. In those situations, please speak to your Participating Lender about what this means for you.
Use the Postcode Search Tool to check the price cap for the location you want to buy in. The tool is only a guide - confirm the price cap with your Participating Lender for any property you are considering buying.
You can search the price cap for a specific location by using the Postcode Search Tool.
To use the tool, enter the suburb/postcode of the location you want to buy in, and click "search".
