The 10 Steps to Buying Real Estate Investment in Queensland – Part 2
6 – Submission
The sixth step to securing a solid property investment in Queensland is to ensure the selling agent submits the Contract of Sale to the seller. Once this has been completed, the selling agent should then inform the buyer that the seller has the contract.
7 – Termination
While this technically is not a step to help a buyer secure a property investment in Queensland, it’s still very important as it highlights the ability to terminate the contract. At this point, if the buyer hasn’t waived the right through a PAMD Form 32a Lawyers Certification, the buyer can legally terminate the Contract, provided it is still within the cooling off period (five-business days after the contract was signed). Note that if the buyer chooses to terminate, some penalties may apply.
8 – Conveyancing
The buyer should always use an experienced solicitor to take care of the conveyancing. During this process, the solicitor will make all the appropriate checks needed and relay this information back to the buyer. This step is vital for a successful property investment in Queensland.
9 – Inspection
This step is perhaps the most essential step when it comes to property investment in Queensland. The buyer must ensure that the building has had all the appropriate inspections (such as pest). These inspections must be conducted by a State Government licensed, fully independent inspector.
10 – Communication
Once the contract has been set in stone it’s recommended that the buyer stay in constant communication with the solicitor to ensure the entire process moves forward, without delay. Back to home page.
