When you imagine buying a property, it’s easy to think about browsing real estate websites or glossy magazines until you find the right one. From there it’s just a matter of getting a loan and choosing to buy it, right? Well it’s a little more complicated than that. Most people don’t realise the process takes a minimum of 6 weeks, and as long as a few months. In that time a lot needs to be done so it’s important to be prepared.
If that seems like a long time, just think about what’s involved with buying a car. While the exciting part is driving it away, there is also some important paperwork to fill out. Once you’ve bought the car, you still need to register it, buy insurance, update parking permits and so on. That’s a lot of admin. When it comes to buying a property it’s the same, but with much larger sums of money and even more paperwork.
Our team at Conveyancing.com.au has worked hard to make the conveyancing process as simple and easy as possible. We’ve put together a Property Calendar to help you prepare for your buying journey.
