Frequently Asked Questions

While Canberra houses traditionally attract higher prices, the current market makes apartment investment particularly attractive. You’ll get a significantly lower entry point (often hundreds of thousands less than houses) while still achieving competitive rental yields. By choosing a modern development like De Burgh, you’ll also benefit from prime location near transport and amenities – advantages that typically attract higher rental premiums.

The combination of quality construction, premium location, and relative affordability gives you an accessible entry point to Canberra’s stable market. Plus, you’ll benefit from lower maintenance and simpler management that apartments offer compared to houses, making them ideal for both first-time and experienced investors.

Yes, government incentives are available for buying apartments in Canberra, but they work differently than in other states. Unlike other territories, the ACT no longer offers a First Home Owner Grant. Instead, you can access the Home Buyer Concession Scheme (HBCS), which removes or reduces stamp duty. For the 2024-25 financial year, this can save you up to $34,270. The scheme applies to all properties in the ACT, including new apartments like those at De Burgh, though properties over $1,000,000 receive partial concessions. This significant saving can substantially reduce your upfront costs, making your new apartment purchase more affordable.

Apartments for sale in Canberra’s Northbourne corridor offer exceptional investment potential due to several key factors. The area is benefiting from significant urban renewal, with existing and planned light rail connections driving property value growth. The location also offers strong rental demand from professionals and students. Additionally, the ACT Government’s continued investment in the precinct’s infrastructure and amenities supports long-term capital growth prospects.

New apartments like De Burgh typically have higher initial strata fees because they offer premium amenities such as gyms and rooftop gardens. However, you’ll benefit from much lower maintenance costs in the early years compared to older buildings. While established apartments might have lower quarterly fees, they often face substantial special levies for major repairs as they age. You’ll also enjoy significant savings on utility bills thanks to better energy efficiency in new buildings. These efficiency savings often offset the higher strata costs over time, making newer developments a financially smart choice for the long term.
