    Hi,In victoria, i think you pay stamp duty on the value or cost of the already completed or constructed portion.Only the remaining unbuilt portion is stamp duty free.So, if a place is nearly complete, you nearly pay full stamp duty.Frosty.

    Hi,I don't think the agents end up with the building or pest reports.They remain the property of the person paying for them, usually the previously interested buyer.The agent should be obliged to tell you of any known majour problems though.Frosty
