Estimates as at August 2026. Duty uses published state and territory rates, including current first-home concessions. Tasmania’s first-home exemption ended 30 June 2026. Foreign-purchaser surcharges, off-the-plan discounts, and vacant-land scales are not modelled. Conveyancing is a $1,500 allowance, not a quote. Confirm with the revenue office and your solicitor. Not a loan offer.
