With the median price of a home in Perth today now approaching $480,000, the transaction costs associated with the purchase of such a property would realistically be about $22,000.

In Wanneroo, situated just 22km from the Perth GPO, the median house price is still under $400,000. Wanneroo real estate is still considered affordable. No wonder this suburb is now one of the fastest growing areas in Australia.

The State Government stamp duty is the biggest ingoing cost to the upgrade purchaser. Other transaction costs payable by the buyer include:

• transfer of title fee
• settlement agent’s fee
• various bank and mortgage registration fees
• adjustment of rates and taxes
• property insurance

Plan for other costs like:

• removal costs
• gas, water and electricity connection fees
• mortgage insurance

Buyers other than first home buyers should allow an extra 5 per cent on top of the purchase price of a property to cover transaction costs.

You may be eligible for the Commonwealth First Home Owners Grant if you are a first home buyer. If so, you should factor this into your budget. You will likely need around $2,000 to help pay for incidental costs that accompany the transaction. You may also be eligible for the REBA Home Buyers Assistance Account to help with these expenses.

First home buyers are exempt from State Government stamp duty for homes valued under $500,000, and this is a great relief to the majority of first home buyers given that they tend to purchase at around $400,000 mark.

You can get more information about most Perth suburbs, including Wanneroo, at REIWA.com.au under the do your research tab. See census summery data and growth rates as well. Take time to read and learn about the suburbs you are interested in.

Property investors can also offset some transaction costs against tax liabilities associated with their investments. Costs incurred during the purchase of an investment property are generally not allowed as income tax deductions. However, these costs may be taken into account for calculation of Capital Gains Tax after the sale of a property. Investors must maintain records of all expenses related their property.

Investors, buyers who are upgrading and first home buyers alike should all take time to arrange their finance correctly and account for the extra costs associated with buying a property. It can be costly and heartbreaking for buyers and sellers if the buyer’s application for a home loan is suddenly declined.
