Buying a property although exciting can be a frustrating and stressful time, here at Elders Real Estate we aim to make the process of purchasing real estate for sale in Toongabbie and the surrounding districts as easy as possible for you!
When considering a home for sale, the process can be divided into three main stages.
Establish Your Price Point
Set an affordable budget and stick to it. Seek advice from financial institutions and or mortgage brokers to arrange the best loan to suit your needs. It is a sound idea to shop around for the most attractive finance deal.
Have pre approval arranged before inspecting properties to avoid disappointment.
Research
Prepare a short list of preferred suburbs that suit your lifestyle, bearing in mind affordability and accommodation requirements.
Drive around the local area and familiarise yourself with it, get a feel for real estate prices in the area. If you have access to the internet, local real estate agents’ websites will give you up-to-date information about recent sales.
Finding Your Dream Home & Agent Relationship
Register your buying requirements with agents in your local area and on all relevant real estate websites. Communicate regularly with local agents so they inform you of new listings as soon as they become available. Develop a relationship with one of our professional team who specialise in your preferred area. Your Elders Real Estate Toongabbie Sales Consultant will be able to advise you of any additional information you may need and also inform you how you can register on our website to automatically receive notification of any new listings that hit the market.
After inspecting many, many properties you may have to be a little more flexible on the must have and desirable attributes on your list – inform your agent if requirements change so we can adjust our records.
Find A Solicitor
When you find a property that suits your requirements you should have your solicitor or conveyancer inspect the Contract For Sale which has been prepared by the vendors solicitors or licensed conveyancers.
Once You Find A Property
Make sure you have a clear understanding of what is included in the sale, ensure all fixtures and fittings you think are staying are listed on the Contract For Sale.
There are different ways to proceed with the sale once a price has been agreed between yourselves and the sellers. Your salesperson will be happy to discuss the options you have or alternatively seek advice from your solicitor or conveyancer.
It is usually prudent to obtain a pest and building report on the property. Your solicitor will advise you in this regard and organise the reports on your behalf.
Prior to settlement it is recommended that you conduct a pre-settlement inspection to ensure the property is in the same condition as when you inspected it and that all the inclusions are there.
