So, your finances are ready, and you’ve found your new home? There are just a couple more steps before you’re handed the keys.
If you’re buying a fixed price, affordable home through HomeSeeker SA, you’ll need to make a formal offer to buy your home at the fixed price advertised. Finalising a sales contract – especially for a new home – can be complex, so we recommend hiring the services of a conveyancer (a licensed professional who can provide advice and support during the homebuying process, making sure you meet all your legal obligations) to help you.
Sometimes buying an affordable home through HomeSeeker SA involves a house and land package, so you need to be aware of the timings involved – not only the time it might take to get consent and approvals, but also the build time. It’s wise to continue monitoring the construction process. And don’t forget that separate deposits may be needed to buy the land and to buy the house.
With everything under control, you can agree on a settlement date when the property is formally transferred into your name, and you get the keys to start your new life as a home owner!
