Make sure life’s biggest purchase is expertly handled

A property purchase is likely to be the biggest transaction of your life. It’s almost impossible to think of all the things you need to remember, so let Etheringtons take the worry out of the picture. We have significant experience and have systems in place that will give you the peace of mind of knowing that everything has been considered.

Take complexity out of the equation

The stress in property transactions develops from the large amount of things to consider. We can help! We have a well-established check list that ensures you cover every eventuality. Just some of the items we consider are:

If you are buying a property

• the pre-exchange essentials such as
      - building and pest reports

    - strata records searching
    - surveys and building certificates
    - engineering certificates
    - the need for firm offers of finance to be in place.

• the post-exchange requirements of
      - liaising with your bank
      - cooling off rights
      - insurance risks
      - updating strata rolls
      - payment of stamp duty
      - joint ownership issues
      - first home owners grants
      - adjustments of rates and
      - readiness for settlement

If you are selling a property

• drawing up a contract so you can list with an agent for your first open house
• what you should disclose to a purchaser
• your contractual relationship with the selling agent

The result is a smooth, efficient transaction that saves you time and stress.

Leasing

We have handled leases for a multitude of property types eg. rural land, retail tenancy premises, office premises, factories and many others. Our advice ensures you have  solid protection and are fully aware of your rights and obligations.

Prevent costly mistakes

Some premises are regulated by the State Government; many retail tenancies are complicated in their obligations.  Appropriate advice will ensure you know exactly what your rights and obligations are. No surprises make for a safe and secure tenancy! It's best to obtain early advice from us on all leasing transactions.
