Terms of use
By using this site you agree to these terms. They are written to be read, so please do.
General information, not advice
The pages and the calculator explain property transfer duty and conveyancing costs in Australia in general terms. They are not legal, tax or financial advice and do not take your circumstances into account. Before you make a decision about a purchase, speak to a licensed conveyancer, a solicitor or another qualified adviser.
The figures
Rates, thresholds and deadlines are taken from the revenue office, regulator or legislation named in each page's source notes, on the date shown there. Governments change them, sometimes part way through a year. The linked source is always the authority, and we cannot promise a figure is still current when you read it.
The calculator
The calculator applies published rate schedules to the answers you give. It does not assess your contract, cannot tell whether you meet a concession's conditions, and leaves out the surcharges and concessions listed on its page. The duty you actually pay is assessed by the revenue office.
Quote requests
When quote requests are open, we pass a request, with your consent, to conveyancers or solicitors who cover your state. Those firms may pay us a fee for the introduction. We are not a party to any agreement you make with a firm, we do not supervise its work, and we do not guarantee it. A complaint about a firm's conduct can be taken to the body that licenses or regulates it in that state.
Business services
These terms cover using the site. Conveyancing firms and law practices that sign up to our managed website plan are covered by the separate website plan terms.
Using the site
You may read, print and share pages for personal use. Please do not copy the site's content in bulk, or use automated tools in a way that overloads it.
Our responsibility
Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law. Beyond those rights, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss that comes from relying on general information on this site instead of getting advice about your own situation.

The business details of whoever runs this site will be published on this page before it launches.
