Buying a property can be one of life’s most exciting yet stressful experiences, especially with all the details to manage. To help ease the process and keep things on track, here are four essential tips to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
1. Choose an experienced conveyancer
A conveyancer will guide you through the important steps and make sure the contract of sale is thoroughly checked. Plus, they can help negotiate terms, like sorting out any unapproved building works and spotting hidden risks before they become your problem.
2. Get professional property and pest inspections
These are a must before making an offer on a property to uncover things like structural issues, water damage or even dreaded black mould. And here’s a tip: on a walk-through, look out for freshly painted walls – they might be hiding something worse underneath.
3. Organise your financing early
Make sure you’re all set with your financing well ahead of time – it’ll save future you from stress. Work with your lender to have everything sorted before settlement so you’re not scrambling at the last minute. And don’t forget to stay on top of those legal checks (like title searches) to avoid delays or surprises.
4. Do a final inspection before settlement
One last walk-through of the property is a must. Check everything to make sure it’s in good shape and exactly as agreed. This way, you won’t be hit with any unexpected repairs or issues after settlement, and you can take it easy knowing that your new place is all set.
