If you’ve never bought property before, Conveyancing Central Coast will help uncomplicate the process for you. We’ve helped first homebuyers purchase property on the Central Coast for more than three decades. Our solicitors & conveyancers are committed to excellence and we’ll ensure you are fully aware of your rights and responsibilities as a prospective home buyer. 

After you have agreed on a sale price, our solicitors and conveyancers will review the Contract of Sale on your behalf. We’ll also discuss with you what pre-contract searches you may wish to undertake, such as a pest or building report.

These services can include:

• Pest & building report
• Strata inspection report (if appropriate)
• Building compliance certificate
• Pool compliance certificate

It’s critical to obtain a pest and building report prior to the exchange of contractors, or before the cooling-off period expires. As the buyer, all the reports are at your expense, however the value of making a fully informed decision on purchasing the property is priceless. 

For assistance in obtaining formal approval from your bank, or you’ve recently acquired your Contact of Sale, call us at Conveyancing Central Coast. 

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone and we’re confident we can help make the process as stress-free as possible. Property transactions are the biggest financial investments most people will make in their lifetime. When you hire the sharp legal minds at Conveyancing Central Coast, we’ll work closely with you to navigate the legalities and lengthy documentation processes. 

From the initial buying stages to finalising the contracts, we’ll be with you at every step of the way. 

At Conveyancing Central Coast, we will:

1. Review & advise the Contract of Sale with you to help you decide if you wish to proceed with the purchase and sign the Contract
2. Assist with pre-contract searches including pest & building reports, compliance certificates & strata inspection reports (if relevant)
3. Oversee the deposit transaction as agreed to the real estate agent
4. Manage the process and arrange the contract exchange if you wish to proceed with buying the property. You can trust that you will receive our utmost attention and assist you as much or as little as you require. 

Now you’ve made the decision to buy your new home, it’s time to get your finances in order! Most buyers need time to get approval for a home loan. A financial clause can be added to the contract and can be implemented if the buyer is unable the obtain the loan within the specified time period. The contract may then be cancelled. Without the clause, you are only provided the 5 day cooling-off period to arrange a home loan or to withdraw from the contract. 

Our solicitors & conveyancers are able to liaise on your behalf to negotiate a financial clause to provide you with enough time to organise a home loan. We’ll sit down with you to discuss how much you need.

When you engage Conveyancing Central Coast we will help you understand the costs that need to be paid on your behalf ahead of time. Our priority is to help streamline the purchasing process to make your transaction stress-free. 

One of the payments you’ll be required to make as a buyer is stamp duty to the NSW government. This amount is a percentage of the price paid on your new home. However, if this is your first property and it’s under $500,000, and your partner has not previously owned a residential property, you will not be required to pay stamp duty.
