If you’re in the market to buy a home, you might be wondering ‘are house and land packages a good idea?’ The good news is that they are because they can provide you with plenty of benefits from customising your home to better land size options to government incentives. Read on to find out more.
There are four government incentives available for eligible first home buyers in Western Australia:
1) The First Home Owner Grant
If you are a first homeowner, you are in for a treat with this grant of $10,000 to finance a brand new WA home, which includes a house and land package.
2) Stamp duty concession
If you buy a new home valued at less than $430,000, you’ll pay no stamp duty at all. This includes house and land packages.
If you buy a new WA home/house and land package valued between $430,000 and $530,000, you’ll pay a reduced amount of stamp duty. Stamp duty is a government tax and it can otherwise be $10,000 or more depending on the value of your home.
