FAQs

Is the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) a good place for investment properties?

Australia’s Capital Territory includes the city of Canberra but it’s worth also considering the ACT-adjacent towns of Queanbeyan, Goulburn and Yass and regional areas like Googong, which is a new community that’s won design and environmental awards. The ACT’s strong employment prospects, temperate climate and natural beauty are strong indicators of an ideal place for property investment.

Is it cheaper to buy land and build a house in ACT?

Research shows that building a new home can be more affordable than buying an existing house. This obviously depends on many factors, including the size of the land and the quality of the house but you can factor in the stamp duty (also called conveyance duty) savings that come from buying land rather than an established home. Ready Built and House & Land options can provide further savings.
