I've found it difficult to locate a single checklist that outlines the necessary steps a buyer should take when purchasing a property. The ones that get close seem to push their own agenda. So I'd like to create a list for the uneducated buyer. Below is what I've come up with so far...
Can you please make suggestions to improve this checklist?
The Buyer Checklist
Pre-Search
- Get some Property Education
- Decide your Finance Strategy
- Discover your Lending Options
- Do your Research
Pre-Purchase
- Get a Due Diligence Report
- Get a Property Valuation Report
- Get a Rental Appraisal
- Review the Sale Contract
- Get a Building and Pest Inspection
Post-Purchase
- Have a Conveyancer do the Legals
- Buy Landlords Insurance
- Employ someone to Manage your Property
Post-Settlement
- Get a Depreciation Schedule
- Get Risk Insurance
- Organise the Move
