First-time buying? The girls are here to help!

It can be very daunting buying your first home. Here are some tips to help!

Start by researching the area you’re considering living in. Speak with lenders early to understand your budget, then create a list of non-negotiable features to guide your property search.

Here are some tips to help:

1. Budget. Meet with a lender to discuss your finances and obtain pre-approval. This helps you understand your budget and puts you in a position to act quickly.

2. Property Features. Decide on your non-negotiables such as location, number of bedrooms, yard size.

3. Research the area. Look into the suburb you are considering, including local schools, shopping, transport and any future development plans.

4. Keep emotions in check. Falling in love with a home is exciting, just make sure the numbers make sense.

5. Conveyancer. Once your offer is accepted, you will engage a conveyancer. This step is crucial. A good conveyancer will explain the contract of sale in detail and request changes on your behalf when needed.

6. Work with a knowledgeable real estate agent. Local knowledge and experience matter and can make a big difference throughout the process.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, but with the right lender, agent and conveyancer on your team makes all the difference!
