Rare new off the plan apartment development launches in Newcastle

If you’re looking to buy an apartment in Australia, property economist Anna Porter explains <a href="https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/state-easiest-buy-property-act-011522751">Canberra could be your best bet</a>.

According to Porter, the Australian state outranks the rest of the country based on agents’ attitude, costs associated with the purchase, buyer competition and the ease of undertaking due diligence.

<blockquote>
“[In Canberra,] Agents treat buyers with a huge amount of respect, they allow them time to do their due diligence without undue pressure and they encourage them to work with solicitors straight away.”
</blockquote>

- Anna Porter, Property Economist

Australian Capital Territory is the only state which ensures the vendor must provide pest and building reports in the contract of sale, and has the country’s second-lowest stamp duty costs, which both work in the favour of the buyer.

Given the lower entry-level price points, buyers can secure a luxury apartment for a fraction of the cost of a high-end or penthouse apartment in Sydney or Melbourne. Canberra’s vast natural landscape also means many apartments will overlook spectacular mountain or water views.

If you’re considering purchasing property in Canberra, here are 5 of the state’s most exquisite luxury developments on the market right now.
