How do I start?
Contact one of our friendly agents. We are happy to meet you and get to know all about your buying requirements, so invest some time and consider:
- • What areas would you like to live in?
- • What kind of property are you looking for?
- • What are your “must haves” and “don’t want”?
- • How much are you prepared to spend to get what you want?
- • When would you like to move in by?
- • Do you need to sell your existing property and if so, are you on the market yet?
- • Do you know how much you can borrow, if so, is your finance organised?
I want to see some property!
I want to see some property!
See a good range of properties so you can get a grip on what your money will buy. The sooner you become confident about value, the sooner you will be able to buy with conviction. Look at as many properties as you can, however, should you find the perfect property early in your search, don’t delay -if you love it, chances are someone else will as well! Let your agent know your feedback as this will guide them in assisting you.
I’ve found it!
When you find the property for you, talk to your agent about how to proceed. An offer is about more than just money, you will need to provide details of:
- • your buying position.
- • proposed timeframe.
- • expected inclusions.
- • how you propose to fund the purchase
All of these details will assist the seller in their decision making
What happens now?
Once a sale has been agreed upon, sign the sale contract with your agent, which will have your details , property details and your nominate conveyancer. This will be sent by the agent to the seller’s conveyancer and your nominated conveyancer. We recommend that you arrange a building and pest inspection to make you aware of any major defects and pest concerns. Bear in mind that most building and pest reports are usually written in a way that sounds like the property is in worse condition than it is. This is due to the legal wording of the report. We recommend reading the report in its entirety, considering the overall summary while keeping in mind the age of the home. It is a good idea to phone the person who conducted the report to explain it to you in detail to gain a better understanding of what condition the property is in.
If you are borrowing funds, contact your finance lender to let them know you have found a property and arrange the formal finance approval. Once your finance is confirmed, you will now be able to “exchange” contracts. This means the seller is committed to sell you the property and you are committed to purchase it.
Any other advice?
