Where this price sits
A first home buyer here is $50,000 under the $800,000 exemption cap — still completely duty-free.
Every buyer type at $750,000
| Buyer | Duty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-occupier or investor | $27,937 | — |
| First home buyer | $0 | Under the First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme (FHBAS): new or existing home, duty-free to $800,000, concession phasing out at $1,000,000. |
| Foreign buyer (incl. 9% surcharge) | $95,437 | Surcharge on the full price, on top of duty. |
This is the heart of the Sydney-fringe and regional-NSW market, and the zone where the FHBAS decision bites hardest: full exemption to $800,000, then a taper that gives back less with every dollar of price to $1,000,000. Non-first-home buyers pay the general CPI-indexed schedule — NSW has no owner-occupier concession to soften it.

The full upfront stack at $750,000
Duty is only one line of the day-one bill. With less than a 20% deposit, lenders mortgage insurance joins it — priced from published LVR bands by our LMI calculator:
| Deposit | LMI (incl. its duty) | Duty + LMI |
|---|---|---|
| 20% deposit $150,000 | $0 | $27,937 |
| 15% deposit $112,500 | $8,498 | $36,435 (85% LVR) |
| 10% deposit $75,000 | $15,977 | $43,914 (90% LVR) |
Owner-occupier duty used; LMI varies by lender and insurer, so treat it as indicative. NSW Land Registry Services's registration fees add $365.46 at this price ($182.73 transfer + $182.73 mortgage) — the state calculator itemises them live.
