Check these tips out if your in the market...
1. Speak with your financier or your home loan consultant to arrange the best loan to suit your needs.
2. Prepare a short list of preferred areas that suit your lifestyle. Keep in mind affordability and accommodation requirements.
3. Research sales in those preferred areas using The Advertiser Price Guide & Pope Nitschke First National Recent Sales. Inspect every property in your preferred area so you have a feel for the price. Attend all auctions in the area.
4. Develop a relationship with a Sales Agent specialising in your preferred area. The agent will be able to offer additional advice and also alert you to new listings before they reach the media.
5. When you find a property that suits your requirements, ask your agent to send a copy of the sale contract to your solicitor or conveyancer.
6. We recommend that you arrange a building and timber pest inspection to make you aware of any major defects and pest concerns eg: white ant, termites.
7. Following your solicitors or conveyancers advice on the sale contract and taking into consideration the building and pest reports, you are now able to make an informed decision to proceed with an offer on the property through the agent.
8. If you are bidding at an auction, we recommend you read the Office of Fair Trading's "Bidder's Guide" before you attend the auction. You can find a copy of the Bidder's Guide at www.ocba.gov.au
9. Once negotiations have been finalised, you will be required to sign the sale contract and pay a deposit. Your deposit will be held in trust in an interest bearing account until settlement. Interest is normally equally divided between you and the vendor. The vendor will sign the sale contract also.
10. On settlement day, your keys will be handed over and you will be able to move into your new home!
