🏡 VIC Property Rules: What’s changing in 2026?
If you’re buying or selling this year, some massive changes are hitting the market! Here is the quick cheat sheet:

✅ No More Blind Auctions: From mid-2026, sellers will likely be required to publish their Reserve Price 7 days before the auction. No more guessing games!

💰 Sellers Pay the Land Tax: For most properties (under $10.7m), sellers can no longer pass land tax bills on to the buyer.

🏗️ Stamp Duty Savings: The stamp duty discount for buying Off-the-Plan (apartments/townhouses) has been extended until Oct 2026.

⚠️ Vacant Land Tax: The tax on empty homes/land has expanded across all of Victoria—not just Melbourne.

The Bottom Line: Contracts look different this year. Make sure your conveyancer is across the 2026 rules before you sign anything! 🖊️

We like to make sure every T is crossed and every i is dotted.

Stamp Duty In Victoria
Purchasing property in Victoria comes with various costs, one of which is stamp duty. Whether you are a first-time buyer or already own multiple properties, you must pay this tax that is levied when ownership of a property changes hands.

The amount of stamp duty payable depends on factors like the property's value and the buyer's eligibility for concessions and incentives.

The Victorian government regularly adjusts stamp duty rates and offers certain reductions to some buyers. However, even with concessions, stamp duty typically ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.

Failing to account for stamp duty when budgeting for a property purchase can lead to an unpleasant surprise. Carefully calculating the stamp duty costs ahead of time allows buyers to plan for this substantial expense on top of the deposit amount.

Being informed on the latest stamp duty rules and rates in Victoria for 2025 helps buyers estimate their outlay well in advance.

If you would like advice on stamp duty, we invite you to give us call.
