The hardest thing about purchasing a property is finding the "ideal
home". This is your job. Our job and our goal, is to ensure the
transaction is effected as smoothly as possible, making your experience
hassle free. Should you be a first time purchaser, we will give you as
many helpful hints as we can, making the "process" less daunting.
The first step in
the process is obtaining a copy of the Contract from the Agent
or the Vendor. We will review the Contract, free of charge,
advise you on the conditions of the agreement, alert you of any
dangers and even negotiate changes for your benefit.
Once you have
negotiated the price we will then assist you in obtaining the
necessary inspection reports and advise you to finalise your
finance arrangements if applicable.
The next
step is to “exchange” contracts. This is when you
and the Vendor become “bound” to complete the
transaction. We will advise you on the best way to
exchange contracts and we can “waive” the cooling off
period for you.
From
exchange to settlement, we will guide you through the
legal process, let you know what you need to do and when
it needs to be done. We will liaise with the Real Estate
Agents, the other conveyancers and your Lender to make
arrangements for settlement. We will also attend the
settlement on your behalf and telephone you once the
transaction is completed.
Our
services continue after settlement. We will obtain a
copy of your new title within one month to ensure that
your name has been registered correctly with the
Department of Lands.
We
will take you from your successful offer, to a
successful exchange and finally to a successful
settlement.....arranging a removalist to move you into
your new home...successfully, is up to you!
