If you’re looking to buy property in WA whether it’s a home or vacant land make sure you’re across the new Dutiable Value Thresholds that came into effect from 21 March 2025.

These changes affect how much transfer duty (stamp duty) you’ll need to pay, based on your contract date and property value.

Recently, Gautam, our Senior Finance Broker at Loan WA, teamed up with Indira Tiwari from Forefront Conveyancing who shared the below insights.
