Take advantage of the new stamp duty concessions

Changes to stamp duty concessions are taking place from the 1st July 2017 that will assist NSW property buyers with their first home purchase. Whether you are a first home buyer looking to buy a newly built property or an existing property, the stamp duty will be abolished for properties priced up to $650,000 and stamp duty concession up to $800,000.

The existing stamp duty exemption scheme only allowed for first home buyers purchasing new homes under $550,000, and concession discount for new homes under $650,000. The NSW Government has announced these changes in hope to relief those struggling to break into the NSW housing market, so it is the perfect time to start looking for your first home as you can expected savings of up to $24,740 from July.
