BUYING A PROPERTY: A STEP - BY - STEP GUIDE

1. Speak with your financier or finance consultant
They can help you secure a loan that best suits your individual needs and circumstances.

2. Define your preferred suburbs
Create a shortlist of areas that align with your lifestyle, while considering affordability and accommodation requirements.

3. Research the market
Review recent sales in your chosen suburbs to understand pricing. Attend inspections and open homes to gain a clear sense of value and available properties.

4. Work with a local expert
Build a relationship with one of our experienced Assets Real Estate Sales Consultants, who specialise in your preferred area. They can provide valuable market insights and guide you through the buying process. You can also register on our website to receive alerts for new listings as they become available.

5. Review the contract of sale
Once you find a suitable property, request that the contract be sent to your solicitor or conveyancer for review.

6. Make an offer with confidence
If you are ready to proceed, your Assets Real Estate Sales Consultant can guide you through the offer process and provide support at every stage.

7. Arrange inspections
Your solicitor can organise a building inspection to identify any potential structural or maintenance issues before you commit.

8. Proceed with informed confidence
After reviewing the contract and inspection reports with your legal representative, you can make an informed decision to proceed with the purchase.

9. Finalise the purchase
Once terms are agreed, you will sign the contract and pay a 10% deposit, which is securely held in a trust account until settlement. Contracts are then formally exchanged.

10. Settlement and final inspection
On settlement day, a final inspection is recommended to ensure the property is in the same condition as when you last viewed it and that all agreed inclusions are in place before ownership is transferred.
