Once you find a property that suits your requirements, ask your agent to send a copy of the contract to your solicitor or conveyancer.
We strongly recomment that you arrange for pest and building reports, or ask your agent to arrange this for you. This will give you the peace of mind of knowing about major defects of pest concerns eg; white ants, well in advance.
Take the advice of your solicitor or conveyancer, with regards to the contract of sale, taking into account the building and pest reports.
Bidding at auction, then make sure that you receive a bidders guide, bidders guides will be given to you by your agent, this is a requirement of the Dept of Fair Trading.
Once negotiations have been finalised, your will be required to pay to your agent a 10% deposit as an offer of good faith, also your conveyancer or solicitor will get you to come to there office to sign the contract for sale.
Settlement day, your agent will do a pre settlement inspection with you, this is to ensure that the property is still in the same condition as when you last inspected it and that all inclusions are as when you signed the contract for sale.
