Buying a Property

Before you sign anything may we offer you three very special words?  DON'T SIGN ANYTHING.....

Don't sign any forms or documents pertaining to the purchase of a property until you have had the Contract of Sale and the Section 32 Vendor's Statement perused and you have been advised accordingly.  There are many many items that are included into the Contract of Sale or that are omitted from a Section 32 Statement that can result in an adverse outcome for yourself and potentionally cost you lots and lots of money.  A little bit now could save you thousands in the future.

The trend at the moment in Melbourne is to go to Auction so that the Vendor has the chance to obtain the best price available.  The downfall for a Purchaser in this situation is that there is NO cooling off period and the Contract is what is referred to as Unconditional.  Once you have decided you like a property after inspection, it is in your best interest to have the Contract of Sale  and the Section 32 Vendors Statement investigated PRIOR to Auction day.  If you haven't and you're the winning bidder you will be signing the Contract and agreeing to the terms and conditions that could cost you thousands and even as much as the Property you have fallen in love with. 

Confident Conveyancing will review all of your Contracts of Sale and Section 32 Statements at a discounted rate.(pretty good deal when sometimes you can attend 5 Auctions before you're the winner).
