Who should I talk to?
When you've found the home you want, it's time to bring in the professionals.
Depending on the home, you should consider having:
- a building inspection (to check for structural damage)
- a pest inspection
- a land survey
- a strata title inspection if you are buying a unit or a flat
You will also need a solicitor or conveyancer to check out all the legalities. Be sure to work out all the costs up front, as some can charge extra for things like phone calls and photocopies. Always check for professional qualifications before committing to anyone.
The best way to find a good solicitor or conveyancer is often by asking family and friends for recommendations.
You should also consider getting an independent valuation on the property to be sure that you're not paying over market value for your home. An independent valuer is the best person to talk to about this. Alternatively, you can get comparative sales data for the suburb/street from your real estate agent or from a property value company that publishes property value reports/statistics.
