We looked into this and approached the FIRB and they were quite categorical that we would be wasting our time making an application. In the end we waited for PR.

Very odd - friends of ours who came over on a 457 bought an "established house" when they'd only been here about 6 months. I think they had to put down about 25% though.

Stamp duty will be different in each of the Australian States.
Some examples are: QLD - $ 4,397 ( Residence use only - investment property is higher) VIC - $14,488 I can't recall the house price I used for those examples, but it was the same for each State. Some links here: Buying a House : Stamp Duty |

Re: Mortgage question. . .
Perhaps you were unlucky; I have friends who bought established properties without PR and achieved FIRB approval.

I have around 35 Australian lenders on my panel and state of the art software that can compare what each lender is offering, and which lender will be the cheaper option for you long term. This software is updated every hour to ensure all the latest products, interest rates and specials are available to us. When you are ready to get the wheels in motion to purchase your property, please feel welcome to give me a call on 07 5573 5474. Hope you're having an awesome Tuesday, despite all this rain. Hope this helps Sarah x |
