Hi newbie here (have been around since last year, but still consider myself a newbie )
Just getting ready before purchasing my PPOR.
What would usually happen after the seller/vendor signs the agreed contract/price?
From what I've ready so far, I'd have to organise these following things asap but still unsure:
1. Pay deposit (-+ $1000) to secure the contract on the day the contract is signed by the vendor?
2. Deposit for the total purchase price (5%) paid to the REA within 10 days?
3. Find a solicitor to do conveyancing work? From my understanding, I'd just need to send the contract to the solicitor and he/she will verify the contract and do the rest for me, and I pay the solicitor for his service (which is roughly $400??)
4. Find a pest/building inspector to do inspection on the property, and get inspection report from them.
5. And then get the finance ready from the bank, and get the solicitor to send the contract to the bank?
now, where would/should I go from here?
Btw, could anybody recommend a good pest/building inspector and good solicitor who charge good reasonable price here in Brissie?
Also, what's the fair price for pest & building inspection? As for solicitor fee, the bank told me should be around $400?
And what should be expected from these guys' services? Would it be just some papers with reports on it? Should I attend the property when they're doing the pest/building inspection?
