Home Loan Fees
and Charges
There are a range of fees and charges that come with applying for a home loan. These can be expensive and will have an impact on the total cost of the loan. Thankfully, some of these fees are one-off costs.
This will most likely be one of your largest upfront costs when purchasing a home. Stamp Duty is a government tax and changes depending on the state you live in. To calculate your stamp duty, you can use REIWA’s Stamp Duty Calculator.
To ensure that amount you’re borrowing, and your deposit is correct, lenders will require the property to be valued. Sometimes this can cost up to $300, but in some cases, lenders absorb this into their costs.
This is a government fee to transfer ownership of the property to you. In WA, first home buyers should expect to pay up to $250 – $300. For more expensive properties, the transfer cost can be higher.
A Title Search can cost up to $100 and is the fee to search for the legal identification and ownership of the property. The information will also include any legal issues that may be present on the property.
Your mortgage must be registered on the property title. In WA, this is currently a $178.20 state government fee, as of July 1st, 2020.
To ensure that the property is structurally sound, a building inspection is a must. This can also include a check for termites and other pests. Depending on the inspection company you use, this could cost anywhere between $500 – $1,000.
These can be from a lawyer or licensed conveyancer (or Settlement Agent), to process the documentation required to transfer the property ownership. This can include contracts reviews and preparing settlement documents.
For any home loan where you need to borrow more than 80% of the property’s value, you will most likely need to pay LMI. This is insurance to protect the lender if you are unable to pay your loan. This can be paid upfront or added to the loan amount.
