| Finance |
| It is always
helpful to discuss your borrowing capacity with
your finance provider before looking for your
new home. This way, you know exactly which price
range to search in. Seek a pre-approval letter
where possible, as this will certainly
strengthen your offer when it is presented to
the owner. |
| Location |
| Make a short
list of the areas that best suit your lifestyle,
taking into consideration such factors as local
schools, transport, shopping facilities,
proximity to friends and family and recreational
facilities. |
| Research |
| Gather as much
information as you can from newspapers and the
internet on the prices of properties in your
preferred locations. Attend "Home Opens" and
Auctions to help get a feel for prices in the
area. This information is so accessible now, you
should become an expert in your preferred
locations in no time! |

| Contact one of
our sales team and inform them of your
requirements. They can then alert you of any new
listings that may suit your needs. |
| Follow Your
Heart - to a degree! |
| Once you have
found the ideal home, you will know it! Just to
be sure, it is advisable to inspect a property
twice before making an offer, preferably at
different times of the day. Prior to making an
offer, you may want to get an expert opinion
regarding the structural soundness of the
dwelling. |
| The Offer |
| The offer
process in VICTORIA is normally completed using
a standard " Contract Note " document
accompanied by a separate report called "Vendors
Statement or Section 32.The Contract Note will
be completed with the names of all parties to
the contract, the address and legal description
of the property, the purchase price, amount and
terms of deposit, settlement date, finance
particulars, and any other special conditions to
the sale. Once this document has been agreed to
and signed by all parties a formal contract is
in place, binding all parties to the terms of
the agreement. |

Testimonial from Mr & Mrs Curran, "We were extremely happy with the service provided by you and your firm. The property was sold in less than three weeks and we achieved a very satisfactory price. This is particularly gratifying, given the number of comparative properties on the market in St Kilda. Your advertising methods have proven their worth and we would have no hesitation in recommending your company to any prospective vendor." |
