The registration of our land has been delayed. We were originally told 21st January and we are still waiting. It's getting a bit frustrating as our plans are ready to go to council- it's just a waiting game.
My question is: our conveyancer requested a bank cheque for the stamp duty on the land, which we have paid. Is this normal? I thought stamp duty was paid at settlement?? She said it was to qualify for the discount in stamp duty- which sounds feasible to me.
Has this happened to others?
Thanks for any advice.
