Local lending notes
- Small apartments: some lenders cap borrowing at 80% for small or high-density units, so a 1-bed under about 50 square metres can need a bigger deposit. We check the lender before you sign.
- Budget for rates: the ACT has been shifting tax from stamp duty to annual general rates, which are based on land value. On an apartment your share is usually modest, but on a house it is a real ongoing cost, so we include it in your repayment budget.
- Investors: investors pay the higher non-owner-occupier scale, about $15,288 on a $590,000 apartment, and the ACT also charges land tax on rented homes.
