BUYING ADVICE

KNOW YOUR PRICE RANGE

Before you start your real estate search we strongly advise you to seek professional advice on the property price range you will be able to comfortably afford. If you are planning on taking out a home loan, speak to a mortgage specialist to help you work out your borrowing capacity and find a loan which will best suit your needs with the most competitive interest rate. Having a loan pre-approval in place before making offers on properties is strongly recommended to avoid delays once you find your perfect home. Our  mortgage specialists at Mandaland Property can provide you with free guidance on your borrowing capacity and loan requirements.

PICK YOUR AREA

Put together a shortlist of areas which match your price range and lifestyle requirements. Proximity to schools, access to main roads, travel time from work and distance to your nearest shopping precinct are some of the common features buyers often look for.

STAY INFORMED

By compare the asking price of homes currently listed for sale to the prices for houses you are interested in you will quickly be able to assess the different pricing points in the local market.

FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Take time to research the service offering and related costs of real estate agents, solicitors, conveyancers, mortgage brokers and lenders, and shop around until you find professionals that you are completely comfortable with.

CHECK THE PROBLEMS

For peace of mind, arrange a building and pest inspection before you finalise your property purchase. The inspection report will provide you with an expert opinion on the properties condition and will uncover any flaws from major structural damage to minor cosmetic flaws and will highlight any issues before you invest in the property.

UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL JARGON

Carefully consider the legal implications involved in buying a home when it comes to signing contracts and loan agreements. Take your time to read everything carefully before you sign and make sure you fully understand all legal terms.Remember not to rush – you want to make sure you choose the right property for your needs. By doing your homework you can rest assured that you've done everything you can to find your perfect property at the right price.
