A Simple Guide to Buying Your Home
01 — Work Out Your Budget
Know what you can comfortably afford
Before beginning your property search, it’s helpful to understand your available budget and, if you’re using a mortgage, how much you may be able to borrow.
Having your finances prepared can also put you in a stronger position when you find the right property.
02 — Start Property Search
Tell us what you’re looking for
Consider the things that matter most to you: location, property type, number of bedrooms, transport links, schools, outdoor space and, of course, your budget.
Browse our available properties and contact us when something catches your eye.
03 — Arrange a Viewing
See whether it feels like home
Once your property is ready, we’ll prepare the listing and market it to prospective buyers. Clear descriptions, quality photography and effective online exposure will help showcase your property and generate interest from the right audience.
04 — Make an Offer
Found the right property?
05 — Offer Accepted
Time to begin the legal process
When an offer is received, we’ll communicate it to you promptly and discuss the details with you. We’ll also help establish the buyer’s position and negotiate on your behalf, allowing you to make an informed decision before accepting an offer.
06 — Searches, Survey & Mortgage
Making sure everything is in order
07 — Exchange of Contracts
You’re nearly there
Once the legal work is complete, your mortgage arrangements are in place and both sides are ready, contracts can be exchanged.
08 — Completion & Moving Day
Welcome to your new home
On completion day, the purchase funds are transferred and, once completion has been confirmed, the property becomes yours.
Then comes the best part — collecting your keys and moving into your new home.
