Buying Tips

1. Contact your financier and arrange a pre approval amount which you can borrow up to. This will also help with auction bidding.

2. Short list your requirements - areas, style, size etc. Ensure that you try to inspect properties that are comparable in features and location.

3. Make contact with your agent from Nolan and Partners - discuss your wish list. By developing a relationship with one of our agents, Nolan and Partners can keep you up to date with any new listings before they meet the media.

4. Always register your interest in a property with your Nolan and Partners agent. If you have registered your interest, we will endeavour to contact you prior to the owners committing to an offer. If you wish to submit an offer then a strict protocol is followed. Your Nolan and Partners agent will consult with you on the process.

5. Do plenty of groundwork before your buy. Log onto one of the many real estate websites and check out the latest listings and sold properties.

6. Attend plenty of open homes and auctions in the area that you are interested in. This will give you a better feel for the market. If in doubt your Nolan and Partners agent can assist you in providing relevant market research to help with any decisions you are contemplating.
