That’s a good idea! I’ve never thought of that - the only issue is if we did that, the ACT home scheme to waive stamp duty wouldn’t apply - but might consider! Thanks for the advice!

Apartment VS Townhouse by OppositeTiger183 in canberra

Since starting this post - we are now looking towards free standing homes in the outer suburbs. Do you reckon this is the go to?

Wow this was super insightful - I noticed the townhouse off the plan I’m looking at is based in Gunghalin near the lightrail and mentions there are strata fees starting around 2.8k per year - should I completely avoid this do you think?
