What is Stamp Duty?
Also known as Transfer Duty, Stamp Duty is a state government tax which is payable when you purchase a property. Some state governments have stamp duty concessions for First Home Buyers – check with your IMB Home Loan Specialist or log on to your state government website for information on the possible concessions available to you. You can also use the below calculator to see how much it might cost you.

“I’ve been a member with IMB since my first job at Coles and have always loved the personal service,” says Megan Pracy. As newlyweds, she and husband Matthew (along with lots of help from daughter Valetta) worked with IMB to save their deposit, navigate their entitlements and secure their loan. “When an opportunity to buy our first home, I called Lauren Oakes.” Then Camden Branch Manager (and now Menai Branch Manager), Lauren had helped the couple’s preparation over the previous two years: setting up term deposits, helping them formulate a budget program to save their deposit, and steering them through NSW First Homebuyer’s Grant, Stamp Duty exemptions and mortgage insurance. It worked. When the contacts were produced, Megan and Matthew were ready. “The team at IMB have always been incredibly supportive,” says Megan. “We wouldn’t be in our home without them.” |
