Buying Costs

Buying a home is more than just paying the purchase price. Various additional expenses come into play, and our calculator is designed to give you a complete picture of these costs. Here’s what you need to consider:

1. Stamp Duty

This is a significant cost in the buying process, varying based on the property’s purchase price and location. Our calculator estimates this expense based on the latest rates and concessions available.

2. Legal and Conveyancing Fees

Legal aspects of property transfer can be intricate. Costs can come from searches, settlement fees, law firm fees, and more.

3. Loan Establishment Fees

If you’re taking out a new mortgage, costs are often involved, such as application fees, valuation fees, and possibly lender’s mortgage insurance.

4. Building and Pest Inspections

Essential for identifying potential issues with the property, these inspections can save you from future costly repairs.

5. Other Miscellaneous Costs

From moving expenses to immediate home improvements, utility connections, and council rates, these additional costs can add up.

Selling Costs

Selling a property also involves various expenses, which our calculator helps you estimate:

1. Agent’s Commission

This is usually a percentage of the sale price and can vary. 

2. Marketing Costs

Effective marketing can significantly influence the property price and time on the market. Costs include professional photography, online listings, signage, and print advertising.

3. Conveyancing and Legal Fees 

Similar to buying, selling also incurs legal costs. Our calculator can take into account these fees for a comprehensive overview.

4. Mortgage Discharge Fees

If you have an existing mortgage, there may be costs associated with discharging it.
