Okay, so you’re thinking about buying your first home? That’s awesome! But let’s be real, it’s not just about finding the perfect place; it’s also about figuring out the money side of things. It can feel like a whirlwind of numbers and jargon, right? From the deposit to those “what’s that?” fees, it’s easy to get lost.

We’ll walk you through all the costs, so there are no nasty surprises. Think of us as your friendly guides through the home-buying maze.
What are we talking about when we say “costs”?
So, beyond the big number—the house price—there’s a bunch of other stuff you need to know about:
- Stamp Duty: Basically, a tax you pay to the government when you buy property.
- Registration Fee: This is a fee payable on the Transfer and paid to the Land Titles Office of South Australia. It’s often calculated on the purchase price. This is an important cost to consider.
- Loan Fees: Your bank might charge you for setting up your loan.
- Inspections: Getting the place checked out for pests and building issues.
- Conveyancing Fees: That’s us! It’s what you pay for the legal side of things.
