Engaging a legal represenative<br />

Legal<br />

Representation<br />

³ ³ best practice is to engage a legal representative to perform the legal<br />

process of selling your property before it goes onto the market.<br />

Your representative will draw up a Vendors Statement (section 32)<br />

which will be used by your agent during the marketing of the property.<br />

This document will also form part of the contract when sold.<br />

Subject to obtaining full finance approval<br />

³ ³ In most cases this will take up to 3 weeks because of bank turnaround<br />

times. Therefore, a 3 week timeframe is usually stipulated in the contract.<br />

Subject to a satisfactory building & pest inspection<br />

³ ³ The building and/or pest inspection is paid for by the purchaser. The<br />

time frame in which to have the inspection/s completed and deemed<br />

satisfactory or not is one week from the date the offer was accepted.<br />

Although the condition is put on the contract , in most cases, the<br />

inspections have been completed prior to both parties (Vendor and<br />

purchaser) signing the contract.<br />

Subject to the sale of their property<br />

³ ³ If you receive an offer subject to the buyer’ s property selling there are<br />

many factors to take into account before making a decision e.g.<br />

Is the buyer’s property a property that will be easily sold?<br />

Is their property on the market now, if not, when?<br />

Do they have anyone interested in buying their property?<br />
