Once your offer has been accepted and all the conditions have been met, Anna will forward the contract to your legal agent.
They will administer the settlement which includes exchange of titles and transferring of funds. Your legal and financial representatives will keep you informed and look after the settlement day details for you.
Pre-settlement inspection
It is a normal condition of sale that you have one pre-settlement inspection to ensure the property is in the same condition as when you agreed to purchase it. Check that all the chattels are still in place and any repairs agreed upon have been made. Chattels are the items that are specified on the agreement that the owner will leave with the property e.g. curtains, lighting, dishwasher, garage door opener etc.
