SAVE $$$ in Stamp Duty

SAVE THOUSANDS BY BUYING OFF THE PLAN!!
 
When buying a property off the plan, stamp duty is calculated on the property value at time of signing the contract.  Therefore the earlier a contract is signed on a property, the bigger the saving.  See the table below which illustrates stamp duty payable on a scale of property values.  For more information visit the Victorian State Revenue Office website.  Be sure to confirm the amount payable with your solicitor.
