What do I have to pay for buying a house in Australia?

1, stamp duty: every state government will levy stamp duty on housing transactions, and calculate the price of stamp duty according to different housing prices. States charge different rates, and may also enjoy continuous preferential treatment. 2. Municipal fees and water charges: The fees charged by the local government to all the owners within their jurisdiction are used for the renewal and maintenance of local infrastructure, which varies greatly in different regions and is also related to the floor space of the house. 3. Property management fee: only apartment owners and some townhouse owners need to pay this fee, and villa owners usually don't need to pay it. 4. Lawyer transfer fees: For the legal transfer of the ownership of the house, the lawyer generally handles the property transfer certificate. 5. Housing insurance: Most owners who buy houses in Australia will insure their houses. In order to protect your property and prevent your house from physical losses, you need to buy home insurance.
