Frequently Asked Questions
How is my stamp duty calculated in Queensland?
Your stamp duty is calculated based on various factors. This includes whether or not you’re a first home buyer, the location of your property, how much your property is worth, etc. You can also calculate how much stamp duty you may be required to pay on vacant blocks of land you’re planning to build on.
Do I have to pay stamp duty as a first home buyer in Queensland?
In Queensland, the government abolishes stamp duty for both new and existing properties under $500,000. For properties over this amount, stamp duty is calculated on a sliding scale.
What other costs can I expect to pay when buying a house?
First home buyers often don’t account for some of the many hidden costs - like stamp duty - when buying a home. Instead, their focus is on mortgage repayments and saving a significant deposit. In reality, there are quite a few other costs involved. These costs include conveyancing fees, Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI), building and pest inspections and more.
