Frequently Asked Questions for Overseas Buyers Purchasing Property in Australia

Can overseas buyers purchase property in Australia?

Yes, provided the following conditions are met: you may purchase a brand-new dwelling, off-the-plan property, or vacant land to build on. You must apply for approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) and obtain approval before purchasing. This is usually handled by a solicitor, and after payment the statutory review period is generally within 30 days.

From 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2029, foreign nationals are temporarily banned from purchasing established (second-hand) dwellings (save for a very small number of exceptions); this applies even to holders of an Australian temporary visa buying for their own occupation. Should the policy change in the future, Aobo Realty will keep you updated with the latest information as soon as it becomes available.

Is buying property in Australia worthwhile?

Absolutely. Australian real estate offers a low entry cost (for example, an A$1.2 million property with a 70% loan requires a deposit of around RMB 1.6 million), stable returns (based on the average property prices in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, over the ten years from 2015 to 2025 the median price appreciated by an average of more than 10% per year), and low risk (delivering stable rental income, with rental yields consistently above 4% and vacancy rates staying at 1% or even lower year-round), along with highly comprehensive and professional rental management services. It is among the most downturn-resistant property markets in the world (as demonstrated through the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic). In addition, Brisbane is the host city of the 2032 Olympic Games.

What are the costs of buying a property?

Signing the contract: if you borrow 70%, the deposit is 30%. For off-the-plan properties (apartments and townhouses), you generally pay 10%–20% when signing the contract, with the remaining balance (after the loan) paid at settlement. For a house and land package, there are two contracts — one for the land and one for the house. If you borrow 70%, on signing you first pay 10% on the land and 5% on the house; at land settlement you pay the balance after deducting the loan and the deposit already paid to complete the land settlement, after which construction of the house begins. Payments for the house are then made progressively according to the construction stages, with all building payments covered by the loan.

Other costs of buying a property include: the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) application fee, stamp duty, title transfer fees, loan application fees, and solicitor's fees. Stamp duty varies depending on the state and the price of the property.

Can I obtain a loan when buying property in Australia?

Yes. Depending on your income situation, you can borrow up to 80%. Aobo Realty can provide loan services; please contact us regarding loan requirements, document preparation, process, and fees.

Are the legal rights of overseas buyers protected after purchasing property in Australia?

Yes. Your property in Australia enjoys exactly the same legal protection as that of an Australian citizen. Under Australian law, you hold freehold title to your property.
