Smart Tips for Buying Success

Whether you’re looking for your first home or thinking about an investment property or holiday home, the following steps will help you achieve a successful result.

ARRANGE YOUR FINANCE
Take a good look at how much you have or can save as a deposit, or how much equity there is in your existing property/ies. This will give you a good place to start when it comes to deciding what you can afford. A reputable mortgage broker can help you with this, as well as help you find the best home loan and interest rate for your circumstances.

Mortgage brokers aren’t aligned with any particular financial institution, so they’re a great option to find the best deal.

SELECT A REPUTABLE SALES CONSULTANT
Looking for a property on your own is fine as a starting point, but when it comes time to dig deeper and really get to know the local area, it pays to talk to a knowledgeable local expert, and that’s where a great Sales Consultant comes in.

If you are on the Sales Consultant’s database, they can also let you know of new properties from their office that are coming onto the market that closely fit your requirements.

But that’s not all! A great Sales Consultant can help you with lots of other things during and after the buying process. Ask them any questions you may have, as their advice will often short cut your efforts, making for a smooth and easy transition into your new property.

DECIDE ON WHAT YOU WANT
Create yourself a property requirement list that you can refer to. It should include the “must haves” (such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms and garaging), and the “like to haves” (such as a theatre room or bar area). This will be a valuable guide to keep you focused, as well as share with your chosen Sales Consultant. Also keep in mind that some properties can be altered and renovated to your requirements – but the cost of this must be considered.

MAKE THE MOST OF INSPECTIONS
Don’t hurry through open house inspections. Take your list and note down strengths and weaknesses of the properties you like, and any questions or issues you may have. This is important, as after viewing a range of properties it is easy to confuse and mix-up the different properties and their features. Notes will ensure there is no confusion and you are on top of the detail at all times!

MANAGE YOUR OFFER
Don’t get caught up in the emotion of the purchase. Think logically, and carefully consider issues like fixtures, possession day and price. And make sure you get building and pest inspections so you know exactly what you are purchasing.

CONTACT YOUR SOLICITOR
Your solicitor will make sure all the paperwork is in order, and any unforeseen complications are highlighted through checking official records and information before the sale is final.

SETTLEMENT AND MOVING
Try not to move in on the same day the previous owners are moving out. You may not get access until late afternoon, which can hold up a professional moving company, and cause more stress than you need.

ENJOY YOUR PROPERTY!
It’s been an exciting journey looking for the right place, and a well-organised moving day will help everything go smoothly to start you off on the right foot.
