Stamp Duty Calculator
Stamp Duty Calculator
Stamp duty, along with a handful of other government fees applies to every home or asset purchase in Australia, which is paid by the borrower at the time of settlement. Most lenders will include these fees in the total loan amount, which is an additional cost to the purchase cost of the home. The fees charged can vary between states, and can be influenced by what current government incentives that state may have running (example would be discounted rates for first home buyers), and also by the type of purchase that is being completed (Land only or established home etc).
We have included this calculator for you, as it is very important to factor in these charges when calculating your loan repayments amounts, as it can change the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) bracket you fall into. This can then change the interest rate that you will be eligible for, in turn likely increasing your repayment amount.
The stamp duty calculator will also show you approximate fees for mortgage registration and title transfer also. The calculator does not, however include all fees that may apply to your purchase. Other fees that may apply to your purchase are lenders application fees, solicitor’s charges, valuations costs, title searches, and other miscellaneous costs. These can all be calculated in by a broker for you to ensure everything has been included when calculating your eligibility and affordability.

Starting your home building process
01.
Work out what you can borrow and secure your land
It is important to know your borrowing eligibility before you commence with building. You will be dealing with 2 different numbers in this purchase, the cost of your land and the cost of your build.
02.
Carefully Choose your builder and new home design
Research trustworthy builders who work in the area you wish to build. Search through their designs and take time to ensure the plan meets your needs. Most builders can accommodate changes if you ask.
03.
Research the market and Apply for a construction loan
We recommend engaging a broker to ensure the loan you apply for is what you need when it comes to construction. You will need to be able to make progress withdrawals as the build progresses, which a broker can help with.
04.
Sign the build contracts and watch it all take place.
Once the land has settled, everything then begins to take off. This is an exciting process watching your chosen house design take shape on your new block of land, from cutting the block to installation of the final finishes.
