There is one thing every tenant wants at the end of their lease - their bond back and in full. A few simple steps, such as leaving the property clean and returning keys on time, can go a long way in making your move less stressful and having it returned quickly. The good news is that many Australian states and territories are now exploring portable bonds. This allows tenants to transfer their bond between properties rather than having to pay a new one upfront while waiting for a refund.

The reality is that not everyone’s parents have spare cash lying around to give to their children to get a step up on the property ladder. Start with a realistic budget, identifying opportunities and utilising first buyer grants. Consider rentvesting or buying with a friend, but seek legal advice for an exit plan. Playing down debt, improving credit, and boosting income with a second job can help to get you there quicker.

The Federal Budget introduced significant changes to the capital gains tax system. From 1 July 2027, the current 50 per cent CGT discount framework is proposed to be replaced for qualifying investments with a new indexed approach. The changes may not just affect property but could also apply across other assets including shares, ETFs, cryptocurrency and employee share arrangements.

Changes to negative gearing introduced in this year’s Federal Budget have gained significant attention. While negative gearing is not being abolished, the changes are expected to impact how some investors use rental losses against salary and wages. The reforms mainly target established residential investment property, while newly built homes and qualifying new supply are expected to continue receiving concessional treatment.

Australia’s property tax system has been overhauled in this year’s Federal Budget, framed around affordability and intergenerational wealth equality. Incentives for investors have been cut back with changes to the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing. It comes at the same time listings are rising, buyers are becoming more selective, and price growth is moderating.

It governs the relationship between the buyer and the seller, including details such as the purchase price, deposit, conditions and settlement timeframe. Buying property is one of the largest financial decisions many people make, so don’t make it harder. Always seek professional advice and read your contract carefully making sure every clause is understood before signing.

RBA hikes again. Activity to slow as buying opportunities emerge.

The cash rate rises to 4.35%, which is expected to slow activity and see buyers become more cautious. Listings are likely to increase, giving buyers more choice and time, while well-priced properties should continue to transact as the market becomes more balanced.
