Hi all,
Would like to buy a property in Brisbane, after months of looking , we've found one we'd like to make an offer on.
Does this sound like the correct way we need to go about it
1) talk to agent about price we are willing to offer
2) agent will come back with a higher one (we're offering less than ask price)
3) bit of negotiating may be likely but when agent tells us what is a reasonable offer to propose to vendor, we put in a formal offer on writing
4) offer in writing will have relevant sunset/build/pest clause - should this be drawn or examined by a solicitor? Also Offer 5% deposit or more to show we are serious
5) get the get building and pest inspection
6) if conditional offer accepted, get solicitor to do the conveyancing and the surveying?
7) if all in order pay balance by settlement date
This is the first time I've done this and though I've read a bit about what to do, I just want to be sure I'm following the right steps.
Is there anything I've missed?
Haven't mentioned anything about finance as getting finance is no issue.
Appreciate any advice.
