What to do with house savings?

My wife and I have saved $80 000 to finance our first home. Being new to Australia we are not too sure how we go about using this money for our house. Should we pay the stamp duty out of this sum as well as putting $60 000 against the house value? How much should we keep in our savings to offset any unseen problems?

Owner builder loans

It appears that banks wont let you pick your own tradies and builder, and demand you get a "package builder" to do everything, at a sometimes highly inflated price. Are there loan providers out there that allow you to owner build - in the sense that you can pick your own tradies and manage the project yourself? (I can't seem to find any) Many thanks in advance

Question: Now that the Christmas/New Year break is behind us, how do you see the Adelaide market in terms of seeling a property?

In November, auction clearance rates were about 50%. Is auction still the best way to go given that stat?
