Cost of Purchase - The cost of purchase includes all associated expenses incurred when acquiring an asset. For instance, when purchasing property in Australia, the buyer typically pays stamp duty to the state government, which is a significant component of the purchase costs. Additionally, the buyer may engage the services of a conveyancer or lawyer and might also opt for a building inspection prior to finalising the purchase. You can include all these costs in the Cost of Purchase.
-
Costs of Selling — This represents the expenses incurred during the sale of your assets. For instance, when selling an investment property, common costs include real estate agent commissions, marketing expenditures, furniture rental, and pre-sale improvements such as painting and renovations.
