How Do House and Land Packages Work?

The first part of the transaction is the purchase and transfer of land to the buyer. The second, is the contract with the builder to build the specified house. Hudson Homes has properties available in many desirable housing estates in Queensland and New South Wales and can help to assist you in purchasing your brand-new home.

How Much Can Investors Save with a Land and House Package?

A House and Land Package offers good value for money. You will be making stamp duty savings because there will be no stamp duty on the house, just the land. Your initial property purchase is likely to be much lower than a property in an established area. You can save thousands on tax depreciation of your new home and contents if you are purchasing it as an investor. Sometimes these savings are even greater than the savings on the stamp duty on house and land package.

Financial Tips: Do You Pay Stamp Duty on Land? Do You Pay Stamp Duty to Build a House? 

Stamp duty on a house and land package is only calculated on the land portion. Why is stamp duty paid on land or house? Well, stamp duty is a tax on a property transfer. This means that you pay tax on the land as it is transferred into your name. There is no property transfer on the house, as it is not built yet.
