WE CAN POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
WITH SO MANY THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING YOUR FIRST HOUSE, AND A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS LIST OF EXPENSES, WITH TIPS ON THE FIRST HOME OWNER'S GRANT, HOW MUCH YOU CAN BORROW, AND THE HOME BUYING PROCESS.
YOU'VE FOUND A PROPERTY
RESIDENTIAL PURCHASE PROCESS
PRE-APPROVAL
First and foremost you need to know how much you can borrow. We recommend getting a pre-approval in which you can find out exactly how much you can borrow, and be preapproved by your preferred lender even before you begin your search.
PROPERTY SEARCH & SELECTION
Once you have your pre-approval you have a firm budget to work with when searching and selecting a property and negotiating on the price.
OFFER ACCEPTED
When your offer has been accepted by the vendor it is recommended you seek independent legal advice prior to signing any contracts of sale. We recommend not exchanging until after your loan has been unconditionally approved. Unfortunately this is not always an option in which case your legal representative can advise you on your options.
INSPECTIONS AND SEARCHES
Your legal representative will advise you on what relevant inspections and searches are required at this point such as pest and building inspections or strata reports. The lender will also arrange a valuation of the property at this point.
UNCONDITIONAL APPROVAL
We will inform you once your loan has been unconditionally approved at which point you can be confident to you have secured the loan and thus can exchange on the property if you have not already done so.
CONTRACTS
As well as explaining the purchase contract, your legal representative will may go over your loan contracts with you and satisfy any settlement conditions the lender may have. Your legal representative should advise you of your estimated contribution amounts.
SETTLEMENT
