2026 has flown by, and if buying your first home is still on your goals list for the year, now is the time to make it happen!

We’re pleased to introduce Wakefields’ ‘Sorted by Summer’ First Home Buyers Promotion. Sign a Sale and Purchase Agreement during the promotional period and you’ll receive free simple Wills, helping you get two important life matters sorted at once.

Terms & Conditions

Please note that this offer applies to simple Wills only and does not extend to complex Wills involving trusts, blended families, life interests or other circumstances requiring more complex estate planning.
