Buy now, you pay stamp duty, pay after the proposed relief and the values will increase (marginally) but enough that the stamp duty offset won't make a lick of difference.

Be sure to have a thorough inspection for structure and termites by certified tradesmen. (new or old house makes no difference)

30 Day settlement, ensure you have finance approved FIRST, so when u find the one you can go cash unconditional IF you found 'the' place you want to live. Otherwise buy with your wallet not your heart, put in a subject to finance clause as a way out just in case. Go shopping and good luck.
