Once you have decided to sell your property you should contact Platinum Property Law and arrange for a Contract to be prepared for the sale of your property. This is because you cannot offer a residential property for sale without a valid Contract being available.

A valid Contract contains a number of prescribed documents including a Title Search, a Deposited Plan, copies of any Dealings affecting the land, a zoning Certificate from Council and a Diagram from the Sewer provider. We will order these for your Contract.

Other Things To Consider

You also need to consider the following:

• which Real Estate Agent you want to use to sell your property. Alternatively you can market the property yourself by displaying signs and advertising on the internet;
• whether you should sell your property by private treaty or by Auction;
• how best to present your home to potential buyers eg. do you need to do any maintenance, or store some of your furniture and possessions to remove clutter;
• the sale price will be negotiated when the Agent finds a buyer. The buyer will pay a deposit to indicate that he wishes to proceed and the sale will either be subject to a “Cooling-off” period or unconditional. If there is a “Cooling-off” period the deposit payable is generally 0.25% of the purchase price. If the sale is unconditional the deposit paid by the buyer will generally be 10% of the purchase price;
• if the sale is subject to a “Cooling-off” period the buyer will have five business days to arrange Pest and Building Reports and/or a Strata Inspection and confirm their finance. If they decide not to proceed they forfeit to you the 0.25% deposit paid. If they decide to proceed they must pay the balance of the 10% deposit to the Agent;
• after Exchange of Contracts, we contact your Lender and arrange for any loan you have on the property to be discharged at Settlement;
• you need to be packed and ready to move out of your property prior to the Settlement date; and
• if you are purchasing as well as selling your property we will need to arrange a simultaneous Settlement so that you can move directly from your old property into your new property. This often requires extensive negotiation.
