If you are intending to buy at auction, all the above-mentioned must be in place. Auction day is final. If you turn up to bid and you are the highest bidder past the reserve price (on-the-market price) you are the instant owner awaiting settlement of the property.
STEP 1 – Provide Agent with your full details The actual purchase price you will be paying for the property
STEP 5 – Review contract of sale with solicitor or conveyancer and submit your 10% deposit for exchange
The method by which you choose to pay the 10% deposit e.g. Cheque / bond / other The settlement period that you require or the vendor has stipulated The name of your nominated Solicitor or Conveyancer Any special conditions or requests that you may have so that we can inform the vendor (property owner)
STEP 2 – Confirm your time frame available to do any investigations Find out if the property has a deadline on it, such as auction of other offers from interested parties.
When conditions of sale are all met ie. Pest and Building report and formal finance, it is time to review and sign the contract of sale with your nominated solicitor or conveyancer. Be sure to have your 10% deposit already cleared in your agencies trust account for progression to exchange of contracts. On exchange of contracts the sale is then binding.
In Summary Preparation is the key. Understanding the steps of sale and having everything in place is imperative to reaching your property goals. Whether you are considering purchasing this property, or another in the near future and in need of advice, please feel free to contact myself or any of our team with questions that you may have.
