If you've worked out what your ideal property is, where you'd like to be located and you've got mortgage pre-approval, you're ready to put in an offer.

What you must consider when buying your home:

  • Attain expert legal advice so that you fully understand what the contract of sale contains before signing anything
  • Get a professional building/pest inspection to ensure you are informed and able to make an offer that reflects the true value of the property
  • Professional inspections could uncover severe maintenance, electrical, structural, drainage, roof, ventilation, window seal and environmental problems
  • Obtain professional advice to make sure that your offer strategy is best positioned to get you the sale you're looking for
  • When buying at auction, ensure you're comfortable with the bidding process, set yourself a limit and ensure finance is available
  • Consider whether the current housing market is financially favourable to you
  • Set a strict budget and think about whether you want to go all the way to your price ceiling
  • Remember that if you don't get the property you're after, there are many other properties on the market that will suit you

Let our team help you navigate the steps to buying a house

If buying via the traditional private treaty/sales method ONEAGENCY COASTWIDE and our team of professional sales agents can help you make the preparations needed before you move in to make an offer. Using expert insights we will help you maximise the chances of having your offer accepted.

Alternatively, the steps to buying a house may lead you to an auction. An auction can be tricky to navigate and that is why pre-planning is essential. Ensure you are comfortable with the bidding process, set yourself a limit, avoid entering personal bidding wars and take your cheque book with you.

The right of negotiation is normally given to the highest bidder. With the assistance of ONEAGENCY COASTWIDE, you can receive expert advice as to whether it is in your best interests to go ahead with an offer.
