🏡 **PROPERTY TERMS EXPLAINED | UNDERSTANDING YOUR DEPOSIT**

**What is a property deposit?**

When buying a property, you may be asked to pay a deposit as part of your Offer to Purchase. A deposit is an amount of money paid towards the agreed purchase price. It is usually a percentage of the purchase price, but the amount is negotiable between the buyer and seller.

Remember, a deposit is not an additional cost on top of the purchase price. It forms part of the amount you have agreed to pay for the property.

**What does a deposit mean to the seller?**

For the seller, a deposit provides reassurance that the buyer is serious about the purchase and financially committed to the transaction. It demonstrates the buyer's intention to proceed, subject to the conditions of the Offer to Purchase being met.

**What is expected from the buyer?**

If your Offer to Purchase includes a deposit, you are expected to pay the agreed amount within the timeframe specified in the agreement.

The deposit is generally paid into the transferring attorney's trust account, where it is held safely until the transaction is finalised. It is not paid directly to the seller.

The deposit is usually invested in an interest-bearing account, where applicable, and the interest earned is dealt with in accordance with the agreement and applicable requirements.

Once the property is registered in the buyer's name, the deposit is credited towards the purchase price.

**A few important things to remember:**

✔️ A deposit is negotiable and is not compulsory in every property transaction.

✔️ Check the amount and payment deadline in your Offer to Purchase.

✔️ Always verify the trust account details directly with the transferring attorney before making payment.

✔️ Keep proof of payment for your records.

✔️ If you cannot meet the agreed payment deadline, communicate with your estate agent and the transferring attorney immediately.

**And what if the sale falls through?**

Your deposit is not automatically forfeited or paid to the seller if a transaction does not proceed. What happens to it depends on the circumstances and the terms of your Offer to Purchase.

**OUR ADVICE:** Before signing an Offer to Purchase, make sure you understand every financial commitment you are agreeing to.

A deposit is more than just a payment – it is part of your commitment to buying a property.

🏡 PROPERTY TERMS EXPLAINED: CANCELLATION FIGURES

Selling your property? You may hear your agent or conveyancer mention cancellation figures. But what does this actually mean?

When you sell a property that still has a bond registered over it, the bond needs to be cancelled at the bank before the transfer can be finalised.

Cancellation figures are the amount the bank calculates as being required to settle your existing home loan and cancel the bond registered against your property.

🔑 Why is it important to notify your bank early?

As soon as you decide to sell, let your bank know that you intend to cancel your bond. Banks generally require advance notice, often around 90 days, although the exact period depends on your bank and bond agreement.

⚠️ What happens if you notify the bank too late?

You could be charged an early cancellation penalty, such as additional interest for the notice period you missed. This can add to your costs when selling your property.

Our advice: Don't wait until your property is sold to contact your bank. Speak to them early so you can plan ahead, understand the costs involved and avoid unnecessary surprises.

At Team Pine Crest, we believe that understanding the process helps you make informed decisions every step of the way. 🌿

Be ready when the right property comes along.

In our current market, well-priced properties can attract interest quickly, and buyers who are financially prepared are often in the strongest position to secure the home they want. Before you start looking, make sure you understand your budget and, if you need finance, have your bond pre-qaulification in place. Being ready to act when the right opportunity arises can make all the difference.

🏡 PROPERTY TERMS EXPLAINED: What is an OTP?

Buying or selling a home comes with a lot of new terms, and OTP is one you will hear quite often.

OTP stands for Offer to Purchase. It is a written agreement in which a buyer makes an offer to purchase a property under specified terms and conditions.

It sets out important details such as the purchase price, deposit (if applicable), bond approval requirements, and the dates and conditions agreed upon by the parties.

Once the offer has been accepted and the relevant requirements have been met, it becomes a legally binding agreement. That is why it is so important to understand what you are signing before putting pen to paper. ✍️

At Team Pine Crest , we believe that an informed buyer or seller is a more confident one.
