Consult the necessary professionals
It’s
advisable that first homebuyers (or any purchaser for that matter) obtain
building and pest inspections from properly qualified professionals.
If the
previous owners have made any improvements or extensions, you need to qualify
that the correct permits were in place for the completed works.
Don’t be afraid to negotiate and if necessary, walk away
A solicitor
will be able to tell you if there are anycaveats, covenants, easements,
or issues that could affect the property and a valuer or independent buyer’s
agent can provide good insight into a fair and reasonable price to offer.
For some
reason, Australians are not as comfortable with the idea of negotiating as some
of their overseas counterparts.
The fact is
though; you stand to lose a lot of your hard-earned cash if you are too afraid
to parley with the other party.
Teach your
child the necessary skills to negotiate effectively and importantly, give them
the confidence to know when to walk away from a deal that’s simply not going to
tick all of their necessary boxes.
