BUYING TIPS

  1. Start looking as early as possible
  2. Make a list of preferred locations and accommodation requirements
  3. Establish a price range you are comfortable with
  4. Set up an appointment with your financier to discuss your loan requirements. If you need to arrange finance, we can refer you to one of our specialists.
  5. Attend as many open for inspections and auctions as you can. This will ensure that you are familiar with price trends in your preferred locations and comfortable with the auction process
  6. Establish a relationship with one of our Ray White Mordialloc agents, who can add you to our database of prospective purchasers.
  7. Make use of our accommodation symbols used on all Ray White Mordialloc advertising material. These symbols list the main accommodation features allowing you to scan advertising material and eliminate unsuitable property immediately
  8. Make sure to advise your Ray White Mordialloc agent of any properties you're particularly interested in, so you can be kept up to date during the marketing campaign and contacted if the property is likely to be sold prior to auction. We can also arrange for you to have a copy of the Section 32 Statement and Contract of Sale for your solicitor to look over as soon as they are available.
  9. We advise that you arrange a building inspection prior to purchasing. We can recommend specialists in this area if you require assistance
  10. There are certain legal requirements and codes of conduct that must be met by vendors, purchasers and agents when negotiating the sale of property. Your Ray White Mordialloc agent can assist you in this process, however, it is advisable to ensure that you understand your obligations as a purchaser before you sign a Contract of Sale.
  11. At settlement, your solicitor or conveyancer will probably advise you to conduct a pre-settlement inspection to ensure the property is in the same condition as it was at the time of sale and that all chattels included are in place. We are happy to arrange this for you with reasonable notice.
  12. On settlement day, your solicitor will advise our office in writing that the settlement has been successfully processed. We then have the authority to provide you with the keys to your new property.
