To ‘buy off the plan’ simply means purchasing a property or land that is yet to be constructed or is currently under construction. The purchase is predicated on building and design plans for the prospective property rather than a tangible existing product. 

Buying off the plan has many advantages when compared to buying existing properties. Getting in with early purchases may come with steep discounts depending on the developer. Furthermore, some off the plan purchases may be eligible for other financial benefits relating to stamp duty, tax breaks for investors and first home owner incentives.

Birrigan Iluka Beach will take a $1000 fully refundable holding deposit, that takes the home site off the market for 14 days during which time a contract for sale is issued. If for any reason the purchaser decides not to proceed to exchange within the 21 days then the $1000 is refunded.

Stamp duty, or transfer duty, is a tax charged to anyone that purchases a property or land including a residential, commercial, industrial, holiday or farming property. Stamp duty is charged by state and territory governments and paid at the time of purchase. 

In NSW, you must pay the stamp duty within 3 months of purchasing an existing property. However, off the plan purchases may have stamp duty deferred up to 12 months.

Changes to the NSW Property Tax System will give First Home Buyers the choice between paying an annual property tax or stamp duty.  Please check relevant government websites for further information.
