Estate agent's prices are always negotiable. Whether a low offer will be acceptable will depend mainly on the state of the market and how keen the seller is to secure an early sale. If your first offer is rejected, it can always be increased.
Once your offer has been accepted, it will be on a subject to contract-basis. This means that you will not be legally bound to the purchase until contracts have been exchanged. In the meantime, you will phone or email Northern Beaches Conveyancing Service so that we can start the conveyancing and make contact with your lender. Your lender will (more than likely) arrange for a valuation of the property. The valuation report, although you might receive a copy of it, is for the lender's benefit. You might wish to have an independent Valuer. At Northern Beaches Conveyancing Service we can help you if you require advice on this point.
Northern Beaches Conveyancing Service's fact-finding mission - As soon as we have been instructed to represent you, we will contact the Sales Agent, advise them we will act for you in this transaction wherein the Seller’s Conveyancer/solicitor will be advised of our details. A Contract for Sale of Land will be sent to our office and we will contact you to make a suitable time to discuss the contents which will be put into "Plain Language" for you. However, you may not be able to attend our office and we will forward the contract to you with a letter explaining the contract.
We can also organise for a Pest Report, Building Report, Strata Report (units only), Survey Report, Geo-technical Report or Building Certificate to be obtained on your behalf. Please advise accordingly.
