Can someone tell me roughly, the process/costs involved with buying a house (established) in Victoria?
ExH and I build in WA, so I am not eligible for any first-home buyers stuff, and we also didn't have to pay any stamp duty due to the way it works over there for first-home buyers.
So I am wondering what costs/processes are involved with buying an established home as a non-first time buyer here - aside from the cost of the house itself, obviously.
Other than establishing the mortgage, as Tinks said there is stamp duty(highest in Australia I think- oh joy), conveyancing fees, usually around $750- 1000 ish for a purchase and moving costs. Good luck!!! Lots of stamp duty fee calculators around to help figure out costs you need to pay on top of the house price.
