Australia remains one of the most transparent, well-regulated property markets in the Asia-Pacific — but the framework for foreign buyers is specific and evolves regularly.
In most cases, foreign persons require Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval before entering into a contract to purchase residential property. The categories and fees change periodically and should be verified before any offer is made.
Currency, financing and ongoing tax obligations (including land tax surcharges in several states) also warrant careful planning. We work alongside your accountant and legal team to align a purchase with your broader position.
