Hi Dan,

As a SPR, you will need to pay the normal stamp duty of about 3% when purchasing and also a 5% Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD). You will also need to engage a lawyer to help you with the conveyancing of the purchase which will set you back by about $2,500 to $3,000. When taking a bank loan, you may also be required to purchase mortgage insurance.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can assist you to find out what is your eligible loan amount and draft up a financial plan for you. I have assisted many first time buyers like yourself and would be happy to guide you step by step through the purchase process!
