Australian Closing Costs Explained
Stamp duty (transfer duty) is by far the largest closing cost for Australian buyers — typically 3%–5% of the purchase price for non-first-home buyers in NSW and VIC. On a A$900,000 Sydney home, stamp duty alone can exceed A$35,000.
-
Stamp Duty: State-based transfer duty. Rates and thresholds vary widely — QLD and TAS have generous first-home buyer exemptions up to certain price limits.
-
LMI (Lenders Mortgage Insurance): Required when your LVR exceeds 80%. Typically capitalised into your loan rather than paid at settlement — but can add tens of thousands.
-
Conveyancing: Legal transfer of the property title. Budget A$1,200–A$2,000 for a standard purchase.
-
FHOG: First Home Owner Grant reduces your net costs — A$10,000–A$30,000 depending on state and property type.
