Before purchasing a property, it is highly recommended to have the contract of sale reviewed prior to making an offer. We will assist in negotiating the inclusion or exclusion of any relevant clauses and ensure that you fully understand all terms and conditions within the contract. Once your offer is accepted and contracts are signed and exchanged, we will monitor and ensure that all deadlines—such as those subject to finance approval, deposit payment, or pest and building inspections—are met before their due dates.
We work closely with your finance broker or lender to facilitate a smooth settlement process. Our team will prepare all necessary legal documentation and ensure that any applicable concessions or exemptions on stamp duty are properly applied for. Additionally, we will order all relevant property certificates and prepare the Statement of Adjustments.
The Statement of Adjustments details the apportionment of various rates between the vendor and purchaser, based on the number of days each party occupies the property during the rate period. Common rates adjusted at settlement may include:
• Water and sewerage rates including daily usage
• Land tax
• Council rates
• Owner corporation fees
• Rental payments
We will remind you to complete your Final Inspection 7 to 10 days before your settlement date.
On your behalf, we will manage the settlement process and ensure all relevant parties are informed accordingly
