We will take you through the steps one by one from the very beginning, starting with securing that elusive deposit.
The process of buying a home can be a daunting one when you are faced with a tonne of information & processes you sometimes don’t even understand. From deposits to interest rates to LIM reports, you need to be prepared to do your due diligence and get good advice from the right people.
Step 1
Securing a Deposit
This first step can be a major stumbling block for first home buyers. Getting there takes careful planning and a bit of creativity.
Step 2
Get Pre-Approval
Real estate agents will tell you that pre-approval before you house hunt is an absolute must.
Step 3
Do Your Homework!
You have your pre-approval and you want to get out there and buy! Hold up a minute, there is still due diligence to be done!
Step 4
Choose Your Property
Remember one day you will be selling it on, especially if it’s your first home, so try not be too emotional about your choice.
Step 5
Purchase Your New Home

Step 6
Moving In
The contracts are signed and you have your moving in date. What else could there be to do?
