Stamp duty when you buy off the plan in Victoria

Victoria’s temporary off-the-plan duty concession deducts the construction costs still to be incurred from the price before stamp duty is worked out, for any buyer, on strata townhouses of any value, for contracts signed before 21 April 2027. Sign before work starts and the saving is largest.

Stamp duty on off-the-plan townhouses in Victoria

Off the plan means you sign before the home is finished. You get a brand-new home and time to organise finance; the trade-offs are construction delays, changes to finishes and a valuation at settlement that may differ from the price you agreed. Our guide to buying a townhouse off the plan walks through deposits, sunset clauses and the questions to ask, and what to ask when buying a new townhouse is the checklist to take to the sales suite.

Every listing shows its stage — off the plan means construction hasn’t started, under construction means it has. For completed homes you can move into now, see all new townhouses in Melbourne.
