| Buying Tips |
1. Speak with your financier or your First National Finance Consultant to
arrange the best loan to suit your needs.
2. Prepare a short list of preferred suburb that suits your lifestyle bearing
in mind affordability and accommodation requirements.
3. Research sales in those preferred suburbs using First National recent sales
and justlisted.com.au. Inspect every property in your preferred suburb so you
have a feel for the prices. Attend all open homes in the area.
4. Develop a relationship with one of our professional Sales Consultants who
specialises in your preferred area. Your Sales Consultant will be able to advise
you of any additional information you may need and also inform you of any new
listings that hit the market before they are advertised.
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 or alternatively
register online to have a contract emailed to you.
6. If you are considering making an offer through First National Real Estate
we recommend that you obtain a copy of our Purchaser Protection Pack which outlines
the process of the purchase every step of the way.
7. Your solicitor will arrange a building and pest inspection to make sure you
are aware of any major defects and pest concerns eg: white ant, termites.
8. Following your solicitors or conveyancer’s 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 the purchase of the property.
9. Once negotiations have been finalised, you will be required to sign the sale
contract and pay a 10% deposit. Your deposit will be held in a trust account
until settlement. Contracts will then be unconditionally exchanged.
10. On settlement day it is advisable that you do a final inspection before settlement
takes place. This is to ensure that the property is in the same condition as
when you last inspected it and that all the inclusions are as per the contract
you signed. |
