Buying a home is exciting, but the period between signing the contract and settlement day can feel like a whirlwind. Buyers are often asking how to stay on target. 💫 Here are my best tips to help reduce your stress!
✅ Pay Your Deposit – Hand over your hard earned deposit, which is held in trust until settlement. This locks in your purchase!
📑 Finalise Your Finance – Send your signed contract to your lender and provide any extra documents they need to officially approve your home loan.
🔌 Set Up Utilities – Arrange electricity, gas, internet, and water to be connected on or before settlement day, so you move into a fully functioning home.
🛡 Sort Out Insurance – Protect your new property! Home insurance is essential from the moment you sign the contract (💛Ray White’s Concierge Service can help).
📦 Plan Your Move – Book removalists, declutter, and create a moving checklist to keep things stress-free. Don’t forget to measure your new space!
⏳ Expect the Unexpected – Delays happen! Be prepared with a budget buffer for last-minute repairs or finance hiccups.
🏡 Get Excited! – Settlement day will be here before you know it. Stay organised, and soon, you’ll have the keys to your new home.
