There are a number of essential things you need to consider when buying a property in Victoria. Firstly, you should firmly understand what you are looking for in a property. Secondly, know your budget, financing strategy and the costs that will be involved with the property. Lastly, educating yourself about the property market and how it works will assist you in navigating the process smoothly.
There are a variety of expenses incurred when you buy a property. The house price, taxes, and legal fees are just some of those involved, but an exact total figure depends on many factors. However, there are a number that you can count on. Basic purchase conveyancing costs $700 plus GST and disbursements, and purchasing off the plan will set you back $1200 plus disbursements. We don’t typically charge for reading and vetting a Section 32 statement unless the matter is particularly complicated or extensive. In that case, a fee of $300 applies. Finally, the cost of Settlement will be included in disbursements.

When you are ready to buy your property in Victoria, contact the real estate agent. They will then request you make the offer in writing. A written offer confirms that you want to buy the property and are prepared to be legally bound to do so. You should be careful with making a written offer in any form because it can be considered an enforceable contract. AANDI Lawyers advises that you contact us for assistance in this process.
Buying off-the-plan means buying a house or unit before it has been built. Buying off-the-plan in Victoria can be advantageous in saving on land transfer duty costs and locking in a price in areas with rising property prices. There are risks, since you won't see the property until it is built, and it may not meet your expectations. Acquiring a mortgage can be a more complicated affair too.
When you buy a unit or house in Victoria, the seller will set a settlement date in the contract of sale. This is usually 30 to 90 days after the contract has been signed. Settlement involves paying the agreed amount, acquiring the property title and taking possession of your property.
"Cooling off" means the right of someone buying a property to cancel the contract and walk away from the purchase, no questions asked. In the state of Victoria, a buyer has three business days after signing the purchasing contract to “cool off”. There are some nuances and exceptions to this right, which must be exercised in compliance with Section 32 of the Sale of Land Act 1962.
