4 things before buying
Before buying a home, make sure you…
✅ Research – Do your own due diligence, and make sure either you or your lawyer do a title search on the property.
✅ Seek legal advice – don’t sign anything before you’ve talked to a conveyancer/property lawyer.
✅ Understand the sales process – how the property is being sold (tender, auction etc) will impact everything from how you negotiate to the length of the process.
✅ Read the Sale and Purchase agreement – this is your contract with the seller. Even though your lawyer will take the lead on all the paperwork, it’s certainly worth reading all the documentation yourself – after all, this is likely one of the biggest commitments you’ll ever make!
