It's really important that you're aware of what you can borrow from the bank & how much of a deposit you need to buy a property, before you start your property search. Speak to us to prepare yourself for the journey ahead.
We will now arrange finance pre-approval. This is where the bank provides you with a conditional loan offer to provide peace of mind for you to start seriously looking at properties.
You can now start to research what you can buy within your budget in the areas you'd like to buy in. The pre-approval allows you to attend open homes & auctions, whilst being ready to place an offer/bid. You can utilise our property reports & knowledge of the market to your advantage too.
Once you have found the property, it's important you do your due diligence - this includes a strata report (for a unit), a building & pest inspection (for a house) and a review of the contract by your conveyancer. You should also be advising us at this point so we can do preliminary checks on the property from a finance perspective.
You can now make a formal offer to secure the property. There will generally be a negotiation with the real estate agent, depending on how much interest there is in the property. If you're buying at auction, you will need to make live bids on the spot against other potential buyers.
Once the price is agreed upon, you will formally sign the contract of sale & pay the required deposit (rules differ depending on which state you're buying in). The seller will then counter sign, constituting an exchange of contracts.
There is now a cooling off period or 'finance clause' meaning you have a certain amount of time to decide whether to proceed formally with the purchase. The amount of time in this period varies from state to state.
**Note, this step doesn't apply in an auction scenario.
Settlement typically occurs six weeks after exchange of contracts. In this time period, you will liaise with your conveyancer, broker and the real estate agent to tick all the necessary boxes. At settlement, the parties exchange the title for the funds required, and the property is officially lodged for registration in your name as the new owner.
You can then collect the keys!
