First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme

From 1 July 2023, a full exemption from transfer duty was introduced by the NSW Government on properties valued up to $800,000, meaning most first-home buyers will not need to pay transfer (or stamp) duty when they buy an apartment. Outline:

• The threshold for transfer duty exemptions was raised from $650,000 to $800,000
• Exemptions apply for property valued from $800,000 to $1million
• First-home buyers save $31,090 in transfer duty when buying an apartment valued at $800,000
