Now for the fun bit – time to search for your home!
It can be easier to get excited and start looking outside your budget, but this will lead to disappointment. Create a checklist of your buying criteria and price range, this will help keep you on track.
It’s a good idea to appoint a solicitor or licensed conveyancer at this point. A Buyer’s Agent or trusted advisor can also be very helpful. By appointing the right team of professionals, you should feel confident to enter into a contract to purchase a home by private treaty or auction.
You’ve found the property you intend to purchase, what to do now?
Ask for a contract of sale and pass on to your conveyancer & broker to review. You can then submit and offer and negotiate the terms. Your broker can also act on your behalf at this step. Once the offer is accepted, you’ll need to exchange contracts and pay a holding deposit. This is typically 0.25% of the purchase price.
Your broker will then arrange for the property to be inspected and valued by the bank or lending institution.
Once you have entered into a contract you will work closely with your solicitor and mortgage broker to ensure all the necessary steps are undertaken and that any clauses in the contract are satisfied. You will need to pay your deposit during this time. Your lender will receive a copy of the contract and order a property valuation to confirm the property value and determine the loan value ratio.
Settlement is when the ownership of the property is exchanged from seller to buyer. Your conveyancer or solicitor will finalise the transfer of all fund, including stamp duty. Once the property titled is transferred into your name home is officially yours and your mortgage commences.
