Common questions about title transfers in NSW
Plain answers based on NSW Government guidance. Every situation is different, so we'll confirm what applies to yours.
Is a transfer between spouses or de facto partners exempt?
It can be. Revenue NSW exempts transfers of your principal place of residence between spouses or de facto partners, as long as you own it in equal shares afterwards. De facto partners must have lived together for at least 2 continuous years. Investment properties and holiday homes don't qualify.
Do I pay stamp duty on a title transfer in NSW?
Usually, yes. Transfer duty generally applies whenever ownership of a property changes, including between family members. It's worked out on the higher of the price paid or the property's market value. Some transfers are exempt or concessional, so we check this before anything is signed.
Is there stamp duty on a transfer after a separation?
A transfer of relationship property can be exempt when it's made under Family Court or Federal Circuit Court orders, a binding financial agreement under the Family Law Act, or another qualifying settlement agreement. The property has to go to your former partner, a child or a trustee for a child.
How does a title transfer work for a deceased estate?
When the executor transfers property to a beneficiary in line with the will, Revenue NSW applies a concessional duty rate of $100. If the terms of the will are varied, for example by a family arrangement, standard duty can apply to the changed part.
Can I gift my property to my child?
Yes, but a gift isn't duty-free. Transfer duty is still assessed on the property's market value, even when no money changes hands. We'll confirm the duty before you decide to go ahead.
What if there's a mortgage on the property?
Your lender has to be involved, either by consenting to the transfer or as part of a refinance. We coordinate this with your lender so the transfer can be lodged and registered.
