Stamp Duty in Perth
If you're buying or selling a home in Perth's northern suburbs, there's one cost that still catches many people off guard: stamp duty. Whether you're upgrading, downsizing, or purchasing your first home, understanding stamp duty prices can help you plan ahead and potentially save thousands. At Noble Avenue Real Estate, we speak to local buyers every week who ask, “What will my stamp duty be?” And with the market moving quickly, it’s more important than ever to get clear on the numbers before making your next move. What is Stamp Duty? Stamp duty is a government tax applied to property transactions in Western Australia. It’s calculated based on the purchase price of the property and is paid by the buyer — not the seller. For many buyers, especially in areas like Hillarys, Sorrento, Karrinyup and Iluka, stamp duty can easily add tens of thousands of dollars to their purchase costs. How Much is Stamp Duty in WA? The exact amount depends on your buyer profile (for example, first home buyer or investor) and the value of the property. As a general guide: Properties under $430,000 (eligible first home buyers): Stamp duty may be waived Properties between $430,000 and $530,000: Discounted stamp duty may apply Properties above $530,000: Full stamp duty applies Want a tailored estimate? Use a WA stamp duty calculator or speak with our team for a more personalised breakdown. Stamp Duty Examples for WA Residential Property (2025) Property Value Estimated Stamp Duty $800,000 $39,653 $1,000,000 $50,953 $1,250,000 $63,828 $1,500,000 $76,703 $1,750,000 $89,578 $2,000,000 $102,453 These are general estimates based on WA rates as of 2025. Always confirm your final amount using a stamp duty Calculator How Stamp Duty Affects You as a Seller Even though sellers don’t pay stamp duty, it can still influence the outcome of your sale. Here’s why: Buyers often adjust their offers to account for stamp duty Knowing a buyer’s stamp duty obligation can assist during negotiation If you’re buying and selling at the same time, your next purchase may attract significant stamp duty, particularly when upsizing Tip: Planning to upgrade or downsize in 2025? Our team can help you time your sale and purchase to reduce financial pressure and maximise your outcome. Are There Any Stamp Duty Exemptions or Concessions? Yes, and many homeowners aren’t aware they may apply. Common scenarios include: Off-the-plan concessions First home buyer exemptions Spousal or family trust transfers Principal place of residence vs. investment property considerations If you’re transferring between spouses or buying through a trust, speak with your accountant or settlement agent. Stamp duty laws can be complex and are not always straightforward. What Happens When a Property is Inherited? If a property is transferred from a deceased estate to a named beneficiary in Western Australia and no money changes hands, Revenue WA applies a nominal transfer duty of $20. This significantly reduces the typical stamp duty cost, but there are still other fees to consider. How it works in WA: The executor prepares a Transfer of Land form (T1/T2), along with probate or letters of administration. These documents are submitted to Revenue WA for duty assessment. If the property is distributed exactly as the will directs and no consideration is paid, nominal duty of $20 applies under section 122 of the Duties Act 2008. Once stamped, the transfer is lodged at Landgate. Landgate charges a registration fee based on the property’s value (e.g. $210.30 for properties up to $85,000, $600.30 for properties around $2 million). Title is issued in the beneficiary’s name. Additional costs include title searches ($31.60 each) and conveyancer or settlement agent fees, which are usually claimable as estate expenses. When nominal duty does not apply: Consideration is paid (e.g. a beneficiary pays others for their share) The executor distributes the property differently than directed by the will or intestacy rules Only part of the property is transferred, and its value exceeds the beneficiary’s entitlement Practical tips: Always obtain a Certificate of Duty from Revenue WA before lodging with Landgate Remember, Landgate’s registration fee is separate from the nominal duty If you’re unsure about the process, it’s best to use a conveyancer or settlement agent Keep all records — including the will, probate, and a statement confirming no consideration was paid — in case Revenue WA requests them While the $20 nominal duty offers significant savings, you’ll still need to account for Landgate fees and professional services to complete the transfer correctly. Thinking of Upsizing or Downsizing in 2025? Stamp duty is one of the most commonly overlooked costs in a property transition. It can significantly influence your timing, budget, and financial flexibility. Whether you're looking to move into a luxury coastal home or simplify your lifestyle, understanding your stamp duty obligation now can help you plan more effectively and move with confidence. Speak With a Local Expert As a trusted Perth real estate agency, we’ve helped hundreds of buyers and sellers navigate the ins and outs of stamp duty — from securing exemptions to aligning timelines. If you're looking for professional advice tailored to your unique circumstances, contact the team at Noble Avenue Real Estate for a free appraisal or personalised property strategy session. ...
