Buying Definitions Private Treaty – This is when a property owner sells their property using a real estate agent who deals directly with the buyer/s & the property is advertised with a price eg: $449,000 ( this is the most popular process when selling a property)
Auction – An auction is a process of buying and selling a property by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. You must have unconditional finance on the day of auction day and have 10% deposit.
Price by Neg – By negotiation with no fixed asking figure – this has the potential to attract a wider range of customers who will make an offer based on their perception of the market value of your home. POA – Price on Application Where the buyer will have to make an enquiry to ask the price or price range of the property. Tender – The process is a private and confidential means of purchasing/selling real estate to determine the true market value of the property at that time. The property is put up for sale with an advertised date and time for all offers from purchasers to be presented.

finance When you have found a property you would like to make an offer on the agent will ask you if you have pre approval finance, this is a very important factor when an agent takes the offer to sellers. So we will always recommend that you must have Pre Approval Finance before making an offer. This will allow you to know what your repayments will be and how much you can borrow, as its always human nature to fall in love with something we sometimes cannot afford.

solicitors 99% of people engage the services of a Solicitor for the purchase of the property. This makes your job a lot easier and a lot less stressful through-out the buying process. The solicitor / conveyancer will take care of the entire process for you from start to settlement. General costs for a solicitor / conveyancer are approx. between $800 to $1200. Make sure you ring around and select one that you feel the most comfortable with. Doing this job for a long time we deal with solicitor’s everyday and a couple we believe are fantastic that our clients have raved about are.

building and pest One of the most important stages of the buying process, making sure the property is structurally sound and in good condition, also to make sure the property is clear from little nasties like Termites or moisture problems. e recommend when doing a building & pest inspection that you should also attend on site during the W inspection as we see it time and time before where buyers call the first person they see on the internet and book a building inspection and trust their word, where we have seen inspections only take 10 mins and the buyer would never know. So we always recommend be onsite for the inspection. A normal Building & Pest inspection should take 1 to 2 hours. General Costs of a Building & Pest is around $450 to $550 total. Below are some companies that our clients have raved about.
do you need to sell to purchase? Many people need to sell a property before they can purchase the next, if this is the case you not need to worry as you can still place an offer/contract on a property you wish to purchase with an added condition which is called “Subject to Sale” which means that to purchase the new property you are subject to selling your existing one. Now if you would like a Market Assessment on your property to see where it would stand in today’s market please call World Class Corporate Athlete Chris Gilmour on 0438 632 459 to arrange a day and time for him to view your property and give you the right advice on how to make the transition possible, and how to achieve that premium result so you can purchase the home you have just fallen for.
