Whether you’re a first home buyer, an investor, downsizer, retiree or anyone else in between, understanding stamp duty can take a bit of time.
Knowing how to calculate it and what stamp duty exemptions or concessions you might be eligible for can also be confusing.
When it comes to property law, the learning curve is steep, but that’s where our local conveyancing experts can help.
It is just one part of your conveyancing journey, but Settle Easy’s professional conveyancers are experts when it comes to understanding and explaining stamp duty.
In simple terms, stamp duty is just a tax or duty that must be paid when you acquire a property – even if you receive that property as a gift or if it is obtained through a company or trust.
How much does stamp duty cost?
Basically, stamp duty costs a lot.
Apart from your home deposit, if you buy property anywhere in Australia, stamp duty is likely to be one of your biggest expenses.
And it’s something that’s calculated based on how much your property costs and on a case-by-case basis. It’s important to budget for stamp duty because it’s an expense that is in addition to mortgage fees and any other costs that are part of acquiring property.
We recommend you ask your expert conveyancer at Settle Easy to help work out exactly how much stamp duty you will need to pay.
You can also try our easy-to-use free stamp duty calculators. That way, you can anticipate what your stamp duty costs will be and budget accordingly.
