Why browse for properties on Private Sales?
Yes, there are indeed web pages that offer free listings, but you get what you pay for. Private Sales ads are paid for and that simply means serious sellers. Estate agents trade free listing in turn for sole mandate and 7.5% commission. In other words, the sellers can bargain that commission (usually 7.5% ) what the estate the estate agents would generally ad to a selling price.
How much should I pay for a property?
You should contact your bank, bond originator or apply online at No Agent Mortgage Originators and compare the best interest rate and the amount you qualify for. The price of a property is ultimately determined by the buyer (that is you) and not by the seller’s neighbour, cousin or greengrocer. After a property interested you, you should casually negotiate the price and occupation date (without committing to any paperwork - that is your lawyer’s job).
What is the procedure in selling a house?
You must sign an offer to purchase after negotiating the price and occupation date. Be wary and let your lawyer handle that. Your lawyer should tender this offer to the seller. Now, usually the sales agreement is dratted under the condition
that the buyer (that is you) sells his property or that your bond application has been approved – this might take some time. First time buyers may have to pay a hefty deposit determined by the economy and interest rates. The lawyer (also known as the conveyers) will administer and transfer all the settlement monies.
Good luck and all the best
