There are other additional costs of selling a house in Tasmania that may be involved depending on your individual circumstance including auctioneer fees, moving fees, mortgage discharge fees, and capital gains tax.

Auction

If you opt for auction, our experienced auctioneers will provide a transparent breakdown of the associated costs, helping you decide if it’s the right approach for your sale.

 

At Fall Real Estate, many of our agents thrive in the lively atmosphere of a good property auction. Our dynamic auctioneers will cultivate a vibrant ambience, instilling a compelling sense of urgency to encourage potential buyers to participate actively and bid competitively.

Moving fees

Moving costs can vary significantly based on distance and the volume of items being transported. Your agent can help you explore cost-saving options, including recommendations for reliable movers.

 

However, for those on a tight budget, with the help of family and friends, keeping the costs down becomes feasible. Utilising the vehicles of friends and family for the move can impact how cost effective moving day is.

Mortgage discharge fees

If applicable, mortgage discharge fees are another factor to consider. We recommend speaking directly with your lender to understand the details specific to your mortgage.

Capital gains tax

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may apply in some cases. Given the complexities of taxation, we highly recommend consulting a tax professional to understand your individual obligations and exemptions.
