Short answer: Budget 2027 does not announce a new first-time buyer rate. Existing duty concessions and Housing Authority schemes continue to be set by their own rules.
Key points
- Check current stamp duty concessions with MTCA before budgeting.
- Housing Authority schemes have their own income and property criteria.
- Ask your notary for the full cost list: duty, notary fees, searches and registration.
This is existing law, not a Budget 2027 announcement. Rates and amounts change by notice, so check the official source before relying on them.
