Pandemic fallout prompts seller to offer to pay buyer’s stamp duty

The vendor of 50 Overlea Street, Nudgee, has offered to pay the stamp duty of whoever buys the home.

A homeowner has taken matters into her own hands, offering to pay tens of thousands in stamp duty for the person who buys her home, hoping to drive in offers faster for the property.

After just over two months on the market, Jennifer Lonton decided to add a sweetener to her home sale, offering to pay what could end up being just over $24,000 in stamp duty for the person who buys the property.
