What a lovely email to receive from a very happy client first thing this morning. Makes it all worthwhile.

Thankyou Chris

I really appreciated your informed and professional assistance on this sale.
In the past I never really understood the capability and potential scope of service that a conveyancer provides. Sales have been straight forward without issues.
I appreciated your interpretation of queries and methodology to address. The addition of your recommendation for legal advice to add clarity to contract terms and buyer demands provided confidence and certainty.

You and Rick work well together providing a pleasant experience. I will be in touch on next sale.

Regards
John

UPDATE FROM REVENUE WA

First home owner rate of duty and off-the-plan duty concession

The State Government has announced changes to:

• increase the value of vacant land and homes eligible for the first home owner concessional rate of duty and

• extend the eligible contract dates, increase the value thresholds for pre-construction and under construction contracts, and expand the concession to off-the-plan purchases of single-tiered strata or community title (building) scheme dwellings (but not a survey-strata scheme).

The changes will apply to transactions entered into from 21 March 2025.

The changes cannot be applied until legislation is introduced into Parliament and updates to RevenueWA’s systems have been made.

• Transactions entered into on or after 21 March 2025 that are eligible for a reduced amount of duty but settle before the changes can be applied may be reassessed for a refund of duty after settlement.

• We will provide updates on our website about when these changes will be applied.

Changes have been announced to the first home owner rate of duty thresholds and the off-the-plan duty concession.

If you are planning on selling in 2025 please note there are Changes for Australian and foreign residents buying and selling property .

Apply early as the certificate is valid for 12 months.

Legislation enacting changes to foreign resident capital gains withholding (FRCGW) has now passed and will apply to contracts entered into on and after 1 January 2025.

Currently Australian residents must provide a clearance certificate to the purchaser at or before settlement to avoid having 12.5% withheld from a property sale where the value of the property is $750,000 or more.

Under the changes:
• the withholding rate will increase from 12.5% to 15%
• the $750,000 property value threshold will be removed and the withholding rules will apply to all property sales.

FRCGW is designed to support the collection of tax liabilities owed by non-residents selling Australian properties.

All Australian residents selling property will require a clearance certificate from the ATO, or withholding will apply to the transaction.

If an Australian resident vendor does not provide a clearance certificate by settlement, 15% of the sale price will need to be withheld by the purchaser and paid to the ATO.

If an amount is withheld from the sale price, the vendor will only receive any refund due after their income tax return is processed at tax time.

Most clearance certificates will issue within a few days, but it’s important to apply early because some can take up to 28 days to issue. They are valid for 12 months so the vendor doesn’t need to wait until they have signed a contract.

Foreign resident vendors may be able to apply to vary the withholding rate.

Another 5 Star review today made my day

We recently sold a property and having had an excellent experience with CPC for two earlier property purchasing transactions, we had absolutely no hesitation in utilising CPC again. In each case, Chris and her team's service has been exemplified by promptness, clear communications and flexibility to deal with non-standard matters. On two occasions we have been away for a portion of the process and it was great to have the peace of mind that Chris and Co would keep things moving along as required. We now know that CPC is equally efficient on the buyer or the seller side of the settlement so will definitely be using them for our next transaction.
