Buying Tips
1. Speak with your financier or your loan consultant to arrange the best loan to suit your needs.
2. Prepare a short list of preferred areas that suit your lifestyle. Keep in mind affordability and accommodation requirements.
3. Research sales in those preferred areas using realestate.com.au, The Advertiser Newspaper & recent sales information G P Langridge Real Estate can provide.
4. Inspect every property in your preferred area so you have a feel for the price. Attend all auctions in the area.
5. Develop a relationship with a GP Langridge Sales Agent . The agent will be able to offer additional advice and also alert you to new listings before they reach the media. They will also be able to offer assistance with bidding at auction or negotiate on your behalf on properties they are not marketing for their clients.
6. If you are bidding at an auction, we recommend you read the buyers guide to the purchase of property at auction on the REISA website before you attend the auction. You can find a copy of the Buyers Guide at http://wic003lc.server-web.com/~admin417/index.php?page=buying-at-auction
7. Once negotiations/auction has been finalised, you will be required to sign the sale contract and pay a 10% deposit. Your deposit will be held in the Agents trust account until settlement.
8. On settlement day, your conveyancer will attend settlement at the Lands Titles Office with the Purchasers conveyancer. Once settlement has taken place the vendors agent will be free to release keys to your new home.
