Buying a property? Don’t worry—you don’t need to memorize the process, because we’ll guide you through every step! But if you’re the type who likes to know what’s going on (or just love a good step-by-step guide), here’s how it all works:
Before you sign a contract, we thoroughly review the terms, conditions, and any potential legal risks to ensure your interests are fully protected. Any special terms you negotiate with the vendor or agent must be clearly included in the contract before it’s signed. We can assist in drafting these terms, ensuring they are legally enforceable and aligned with your best interests.
The “buyer beware” rule applies, meaning you are responsible for the property’s condition as of the contract date. It’s important to inspect the property yourself and not rely solely on representations made by the agent or vendor. We recommend obtaining building and pest reports before making an offer, as this will help you tailor your offer based on the property’s condition. However, if you’re concerned about incurring the costs of the reports before your offer is accepted, you may want to negotiate for the contract to be subject to receiving satisfactory building and pest inspection reports.
If you plan to finance your purchase, we recommend making the contract subject to obtaining satisfactory finance by completing the relevant section in the Particulars of Sale. Otherwise, you should ensure your finance is secured before making an offer to avoid any complications.
Once the contract is signed, a deposit of generally no more than 10% is payable. Depending on the property type and the circumstances of the purchase, you may have a cooling-off period during which you can withdraw, subject to minimal to no penalties.
We prepare the necessary settlement documents for your electronic review and signature, ensuring a smooth process. Our team coordinates with your lender, the seller’s conveyancer, and relevant authorities to finalize all settlement details efficiently.
We assist with claiming of stamp duty payable and advise on stamp duty costs, government charges, and first-home buyer incentives, helping you meet all legal and financial requirements.
Property outgoings, such as council rates and owners corporation charges, are adjusted so that the vendor covers costs up to settlement, and the purchaser takes responsibility from settlement onwards. We handle the calculations to ensure a smooth and accurate adjustment.
We promptly advise you on the amount required for settlement, giving you ample time to prepare for any shortfall funds and ensuring a smooth, stress-free process.
On settlement day, the property is officially transferred to you, and the keys are handed over—congratulations, you’re now a proud property owner!
