Buying a Rural or Regional Australian Home

The Australian government, as well as the individual state and territory governments, have long encouraged both rural and regional development. Various grants and concessions have been offered over the years for building new homes in underdeveloped areas or for improving existing homes in the area. Several states and territories periodically offer regional or rural relocation grants.

Qualifying for the Regional NSW Relocation Grant

Since 2011, the new South Wales ทาวน์โฮมมือสอง กรุงเทพ government will pay people to move from an urban to a regional one. Until 2015, home buyers can move from their metropolitan Sydney home to a home outside the metropolitan area and receive $7,000 toward the cost of their new home. To be eligible, the home cannot exceed a cost of $600,000. The purchaser must have owned a home in the metropolitan Sydney area in the 12 months prior to the purchase and must physically relocate to the regional area. The area can be any that has not been areas officially declared as a Sydney metropolitan area.

Grant recipients must live in the home for at least one continuous year after the purchase, and it must be used as the primary residence. The home buyer must be a permanent resident or citizen of Australia. Companies are not eligible for the grant.

Purchasing a Rural House or Land

Australian law has specific rules about rural zoning, what rural land can be used for and when a real estate agent can't assist in the sale of the land parcel. Rural land is a legal designation that it was intended for horticultural pursuits, agricultural farming or for keeping livestock. Many country homes are purchased on rural lands on which the owner doesn't keep livestock or crops, but the legal designation of that land remains rural.

If the property comprises up to 20 hectares, a real estate agent can list the property and assist with its sale. However, larger lands that have been designated as rural must be handled by a Stock and Station Agent with the proper license. Check with Fair Trading to ensure that the license is current before proceeding with the sale. The agent will also handle any livestock transactions that occur at the same time.

When purchasing rural land, the agent can assist you with finding out about the water table depth, the maintenance of the country roads near the parcel and how utilities will be brought into the parcel. Depending on the distance of the area from the nearest town, you may need to assess the traveling time for emergency services.

Rural properties may come without council approval for additional buildings on the property or for any residential development at all. Be sure that you have council approval for any intended improvements before making the purchase
