01What changes in Hobart
ASIC and Moneysmart require the same best-interests, licence, panel, fee and commission transparency in Hobart as elsewhere. The local content must be current rather than recycled: Tasmania’s State Revenue Office says the established-home first-buyer duty exemption ended for transactions settling after 30 June 2026, while its current First Home Owner Grant page describes a grant for eligible new-home transactions in the applicable 2026-27 period. A campaign published in August 2026 should not keep advertising the expired established-home exemption.
It can create separate established-home and new-build lead paths and link prospects to the live SRO eligibility page. Hobart, Glenorchy, Kingborough, Clarence and Brighton can involve different property types, build stages and travel, but no locality guarantees valuation or lending policy. The broker should test verified income, expenses, debts and loan needs, then compare options within their actual panel.
Refinance advertising must show whether a lower repayment comes from a different rate, term or repayment type. Building, conveyancing, grant, insurance and tax questions must be routed to the appropriate professional or authority, and a grant should not be treated as approved funds before confirmation.
