FAQs
Is Melbourne a good city to flip in right now?
Better than 2023-24 for buyers — softer median price means cheaper entry, but slower sale velocity means longer holding costs. Net out: works if your reno scope adds defensible value, not if you're hoping for capital uplift.
What's the stamp duty hit for a Melbourne investor?
Roughly 5-6% of purchase price for a typical $900k investor purchase. Use the stamp duty calculator for an exact figure.
Are Section 32 disclosures different in Victoria?
Yes. Victorian vendors must provide a Section 32 statement before contract signing covering title, mortgages, easements, planning and overlays. Read it before you offer.
