What are some typical costs involved when buying a property?

As you would have already guessed, transacting in property isn’t cheap.

On top of the purchase price, below is a list of fees that are usually associated with purchasing a property.

Transfer Duty (Stamp duty)

Dependant on the purchase price. For a more accurate indication of duty payable, visit the NSW government revenue website to access the transfer duty calculator.

Tip – The Australian Government has incentives available to help first home buyers get into the property market. Again, information can be found online. Check out firsthome.gov.au for more information.

Loan application, establishment, valuation and administration fees

Fees vary from lender to lender.

Transactional, reporting and moving fees and charges

These include things like;

Conveyancing / legal fees

Building, pest and strata reports

Removalists and cleaning

Pop up fees

Allow yourself a buffer for unforeseen things that can just come up before, during and shortly after you own the home.
