FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

I want to sell my home/investment property, what do I need to do first?
Before you can sell your property, either by private sale or with a real-estate agent you need to arrange for a contract of sale to be prepared. You are not able to market your property before the contract is drafted. The contract MUST contain certain documents including searches, documents from your local council and certain disclosures and warranties. If these documents are not correct, the purchaser of your property may be able to get out of the contract, leaving you stranded.
The contract will usually take approximately 2 to 5 business days to put together. This is mainly due to the fact that it can take a while for the various searches and local council documents to be sent to our office. If you have a swimming pool on the property, you will need to have an inspector certify that the swimming pool complies with council requirements. The inspector will provide a swimming pool compliance certificate which will need to be included in your sales contract. Additional time may be required to schedule the inspectors visit to your home at a time suitable to you.
This will depend on the market conditions and the price that you are asking for your property, Your real-estate agent should be able to advise you on this. In our experience, the majority of properties sell within the first 3 – 4 weeks after the contract is given to the agent.
Once you have agreed on a price with a purchaser; they will normally give the contract to their solicitor and obtain some legal advice. The buyer may negotiate some of the terms of the contract such as the time for settlement or an additional condition. The purchaser will also likely want to have a pest and building inspection carried out and maybe even a survey of your property. This part of the conveyancing process will normally take anything from a day or two up to one – two weeks. When you and the purchaser are happy with the terms of the contract, the contract will be exchanged (signed by each party).
