Buying Tips & Information

• How do I arrange the best home loan for my needs?

  Speak with your local bank or a financial advisor to explore different loan options. They can help you determine which loan structure best suits your financial situation and property goals.

• How should I prepare before starting my property search?

  Create a shortlist of essential requirements, including affordability and the type of accommodation you need. This will help focus your search on properties that meet your specific needs.

• Why is it important to inspect properties in my price range?

  Inspecting multiple properties gives you a better understanding of the market and helps you gauge what is available within your budget. Attending open homes in the area will provide insight into pricing trends and property features.

• How can your sales team assist me in my property search?

  Our North West Real Estate Sales Consultants can discuss your needs in detail and provide guidance on finding the right home. We can also help you register on our website to receive notifications of new listings as soon as they hit the market.

• What should I do once I find a property that suits my needs?

  Meet with your agent to go through the contract in detail. They will explain how the buying process works and help you understand all the key terms before moving forward.

• Is there more to an offer than just the price?

  Yes, the terms of the offer are just as important as the price. Make sure your finances are in place, organise your deposit, and ensure you're happy with the property before making an offer.

• What should I consider before proceeding with the purchase?

  Consult with your solicitor or conveyancer to review the sale contract and consider the findings of the building reports. With their advice, you’ll be able to make an informed decision about proceeding with the purchase.

• What happens once negotiations are finalised?

  After finalising negotiations, you’ll need to sign the sale contract and pay the deposit, which will be held in a trust account until settlement. At settlement, contracts are unconditionally exchanged.

• Why should I do a final inspection before settlement?

  A final inspection ensures the property is in the same condition as when you last viewed it, and that all contractual inclusions are in place. This should be done on or just before settlement day.
