Buying Property?… Where Do You Start?

If you’re in the market for a home or investment property, where do you start? What should you do to be ready for your purchase?

Here’s a few things we reckon you can do to be best prepared:

  • Build your A-Team:
    1. Mortgage broker – We assess your financial situation, advise on the best loan structure and handle the entire application process.
    2. Solicitor (Conveyancing) – Legal advice is important, they’ll review the contract of sale and also handle settlement.
    3. Building & Pest inspector – For your peace of mind that you’re not buying a dud.
    4. Accountant/Financial adviser – To see where this purchase fits in with your financial goals.
  • Get a loan pre-approval, we can assist you with this. Being pre-approved for your maximum purchase price means you are ready to seal the deal when you find something you like.
  • Get to know the areas you are looking to buy in. Research suburb statistics including comparable sales, price growth history, look into any future infrastructure plans, shops and schools etc.
  • Get to know the agents in that area. Make them see that you are a serious buyer, who is finance ready and prepared to seal a deal.
