| Buying property in Australia involves far more than saving a deposit. This guide breaks down the often-overlooked costs that catch buyers off guard — including stamp duty, lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), home loan establishment fees, solicitor and conveyancing fees, building and pest inspections, and moving expenses. Whether you're a first home buyer or an experienced investor, understanding these additional costs (typically 5–7% on top of the purchase price) can mean the difference between a smooth settlement and a financial scramble. |
