Worked Example

Let's calculate the fees for a $450,000 residential property purchase in Queensland:

1. Stamp Duty: $450,000 × 5% = $22,500
2. Conveyancing Fee: $450,000 × 2% = $9,000
3. Land Tax (assuming assessed value is $450,000): $450,000 × 0.5% = $2,250
4. Total Estimated Fees: $22,500 + $9,000 + $2,250 = $33,750

This example shows that fees can represent a significant portion of your total property purchase costs.
