My fiance plans to buy a house soon. We will be married in October. I have money in my super under the FHSSS. He will purchase the property and take out a mortgage himself. If after he has completed that process I want to later put my name on the property and start contributing to the mortgage (which will happen months after his purchase), can I then use my FHSSS to essentially buy into the property he has already purchased? I have never owned a property before. Do I need to do something specific when I am adding my name to the property or to the mortgage to make this possible?

Hi @Snowy17,


I've actually answered this on another similar FHSS post this year. I'd recommend scrolling to the bottom to see my response on 3 May 2026.


I'd also recommend reading through our FHSS scheme web content for further help understanding:

  • whether the scheme is right for you
  • what contributions are eligible for release under the scheme
  • when to make a determination and release request, and
  • how to complete your tax return after the release amount has been paid to you.
