What Our Clients Say
Buying
Buying a new property is a very important decision that you need to get right.
Uneek Conveyancing have acted for thousands of satisfied purchasers throughout Sydney and NSW and this experience is passed on to each of our clients starting with a detailed written advice on the contract and process explaining advise on the contract for sale issued by the vendor.
Our Licensed Conveyancers look after each client from before signing the contract until the settlement.
The Buying Process
Obtaining finance pre-approval
If you are buying a property in Sydney then you are going to have to obtain some help in paying for it- that’s where the banks come in. Pre-approval for most banks can be obtained within 48 hours with some financial institutions offering same day pre-approval. If you are yet to start this process, approach our trusted partner at Uneek Mortgage Services to help you with this today.
Locating a property
When determining if a property is suitable you should consider location, price, condition of the property, space requirements, surrounding environment and future needs.
Making an offer
Now that you have found a property, you can make an offer. In order to ensure your offer has taken everything into consideration, have the contract reviewed so you can price accordingly. All price negotiations must be made through the seller’s real estate agent. It is important that you carefully consider your finances when making an offer. In some circumstances it will be necessary to sign the contract under a cooling-off period in order to secure the property, in other circumstances there will be no cooling-off period, or it will be necessary to include certain clauses into the Contract for Sale.
Signing the Contract
As noted above on some occasions the agent will request that you sign a Contract for Sale shortly after making the offer. The Contract for Sale is a legal document prepared by the solicitor/ Licensed Conveyancer for the seller and for this very reason is always weighted heavily in favour of the seller.
Pre-settlement
The standard settlement period is 6 weeks (although this can be modified by the Contract or by agreement with the seller). This period of time will allow you to satisfy any lender requirements and sign your loan documents. You will also get a chance during this time to ensure you carry out a final inspection of the property to make sure that the property is in the same state as when you signed the Contract.
Settlement
On the day of settlement the bank will provide the loan proceeds and you will need to provide any shortfall funds amounts you have to provide (together with any monies or benefits to be conferred such as First Home Owner Grant. Once the electronic settlement has taken place, you will be able to arrange for key collection with the Real Estate Agent.
After settlement
Congratulations on your purchase. Now your Bank has all the original documents and they will register the Transfer to ensure the property in your name.
Selling
Before the agent can start advertising your property they need a Contract for Sale of land. What you need is a fast contract turnaround to ensure that your buyer does not snap up another property and a fixed low fee so you know what you are up for.
The Selling Process
Locating an Agent
Unless you have decided to sell the property privately you will need to decide on an agent to advertise and show potential purchasers through the property.
Instructing your Conveyancer
Before the agent can start advertising a property they need to be in possession of a Contract for Sale of Land that complies with the provisions of the Conveyancing Act.
Negotiating with the Purchaser
While the purchase price is overwhelmingly the most important term of the sale contract there are also a number of other terms which need to be settled, including the inclusions, length of sale (the standard settlement period is 6 weeks), the amount of deposit, cooling off period, access to the property to obtain quotes and works to be done by the vendor prior settlement.
Going to Auction / Accepting an Offer
The terms have been settled and its time to accept the offer. If the property is being sold at auction, and has reached the reserve (or you have authorised the agent to put the property ‘On the Market’) the contract will be immediately binding upon the fall of the hammer.
Expiration of the Cooling off Period (If applicable)
During the cooling off period the buyer will arrange their finance and will often obtain searches or reports relating to the property. The outcome of these reports will weigh heavily on the buyers decision to proceed past the cooling off period. A poor pest and building report may also give rise to further negotiations, notwithstanding that a price has already been accepted. Once the cooling off period expires the buyer must proceed with the purchase.
Discharging your Mortgage
You have now accepted an offer, signed the contract and the cooling off period has expired. The agent will be holding the deposit and generally you will have a further 5-6 weeks to wait for this and the rest of the purchase price to be paid to you. On settlement the buyer will demand a clear certificate of title and in most instances the only person that can provide that is your bank- the mortgagee. Most banks and credit unions take between 10-15 business days to be in a position to provide the title documents and discharge the loan.
Pre-Settlement / Settlement
Prior to settlement you must ensure that you have completely vacated the property. The buyer will conduct a final inspection on the day of settlement to ensure the property is vacant and in good condition (comparable to the date that the contracts were signed). Failure to vacate the property on time will result in a delay of settlement and at no penalty to the buyer.
Following Settlement
Congratulations you have officially sold your property!
