Work out your realistic cash target for buying in WA—deposit, stamp duty, conveyancing, inspections, lender fees, LMI and moving costs.

Estimates only | We’ll confirm exact figures in your loan plan

Plan Your Cash Target

Enter a purchase price and deposit—then add the real-world costs buyers often miss.

Use contract price for established homes. For land + build, start with land price here (or use our construction tools).
This only changes default inspection/strata buffers (you can override below).
Varies by provider and complexity.
Some lenders waive certain fees.
Strata may need extra due diligence costs.
Often $0, sometimes charged.
Removalists, connection fees, etc.
Safety buffer for surprises (repairs, strata levies, extra fees).

Note: Stamp duty uses a simplified WA rate table estimate and may differ based on exemptions/concessions (e.g. FHOG/FHBA, off-the-plan, special circumstances).

Estimates only. For an accurate figure we’ll confirm duty concessions, lender fees, LMI and your specific loan product.
