Make sure to advise your Fanning Property Consultant of any properties you're particularly interested in, so you can be kept up to date during the marketing campaign and contact ed if the property is likely to be sold or has any offer submitted. We can also arrange for you to have a copy of the Contract of Sale for you to look over.
We advise that you arrange a building & pest inspection prior to exchanging on a property. Your Solicitor or Fanning can arrange for a specialist to complete the job if you require assistance.
There are certain legal requirements and codes of conduct that must be met by vendors, purchasers and agents when negotiating the sale of property. Your Fanning Property Consultant can help guide you through this process, however, it is advisable to ensure that you understand your obligations as a purchaser before you sign a Contract of Sale
At settlement, your solicitor or conveyancer will probably advise you to conduct a pre-settlement inspection to ensure the property is in the same condition as it was at the time of sale and that all chattels included are in place. We are happy to arrange this for you with reasonable notice
On settlement day, your solicitor is responsible for notifying our office that the settlement has been successfully processed. We are not able to hand you keys to your new property until we have received this notification. It is important that you request your solicitor to do this immediately after settlement
