The steps involved in buying a property in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, typically include the following:
1. Arrange financing: Secure pre-approval from a lender or bank if required.
2. Find a property: Search for a property that meets your needs and budget.
3. Make an offer: Make an offer on the property through the real estate agent or directly with the seller.
4. Contract review: It is important to engage the services of a Licensed Conveyancer to provide legal advice and guidance, review contracts and documentation, conduct searches and inspections.
5. Exchange contracts: Sign the contract of sale and pay the deposit to the seller or their solicitor. The contract will become legally binding once both parties have signed it.
6. Conduct inspections: Conduct inspections of the property, such as building and pest inspections, to identify any issues or defects.
7. Settlement: On the settlement date, the remaining balance of the purchase price is paid to the seller, and ownership of the property is transferred to the buyer.
