Hi guys,

Hope you are fine. We can't wait to return to Oz.

Just feel the need to say to someone that I can't below how much stamp duty is in Victoria:scared: .

I've had a look at the realestate site calculator & it appears it's calculated on the purchase price & the loan. Do you know how it works exactly & whether its best to put down as much money on the property as you can or vice versa.

Also, do you get any tax relief on having a home loan?

Any wise words would be helpful.. I think we may seek some financial advice from someone.

Thanks
CarolineG & family x

Stamp duty is calculated on the purchase price of the property, and a separate duty on the amount of mortgage being taken.

The stamp duty on the mortgage is not much, especially in comparison to the amount on the purchase price.

Is the calculator up to date ?

NO tax relief on Home loans, thats only avalable if you rent the property out.

Thanks ABC. Not sure if the calculator is up to date. I used the one on realestate.com.

I'll have to got have another look and make sure I'm not being dippey....
