Buying a property can feel like everything happens at once.
You’ve signed the contract, paid your deposit and suddenly there’s a long list of things to organise before you can actually get the keys.
Here’s what that journey generally looks like:
01 Contract reviewed & signed
Before you make your offer, we review the contract, provide a summary and discuss any important considerations with you. Once signed and your deposit is paid, we open your file and get started.
02 Contract conditions
We will monitor your conditions for finance and building and pest, if applicable, and keep you updated as these progress.
03 Finance & documents
We liaise with your broker or bank and arrange the documents you need to complete, including your Verification of Identity, Duties Online and Client Authorisation forms.
04 Pre-settlement
We will prepare your settlement figures and liaise with your lender, vendor’s representative and the real estate agent. You’ll receive your Statement of Adjustments about a week before settlement, confirming the funds required.
05 Settlement day
Settlement takes place electronically through PEXA. Once settlement is confirmed, we let you know and you can collect the keys from the agent.
The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to navigate all of those steps at once. There’s a process, and each stage has its own things to work through.
And when the market moves quickly, knowing what comes next can make the whole experience feel a little less overwhelming.
