Buying property in Australia as a foreign buyer

If you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident, extra rules apply. We explain them before you sign anything.

• FIRB approval. Most foreign buyers need approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board before buying residential property.
• Established homes. From 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027, most foreign persons cannot buy established (existing) homes, with limited exceptions.
• New homes and land. Buying a new dwelling or vacant land to build on may still be possible with FIRB approval.
• Foreign buyer duty in Queensland. An additional foreign acquirer duty of 8% applies on top of standard transfer duty.
