Aussiebird Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Hello, Can anyone tell me please what is roughly involved in buying our first property? We are hoping to buy and not have a mortgage as we will be selling our UK property. I would like to know what fees are paid etc.....how long does a sale take in Western Australia in general? Is it weeks or months..... Just need to get a rough idea so we know what to expect. Many thanks in advance.

ali Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ours was completed in a few weeks (buying established), but that was over 10 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out of touch with fees - been a while since I've bought in Perth. It is a buyers market at the moment. and has been for several years. So you may get a bargain.Don't be shy at offering low, although obviously not everyone needs to sell, and many people still think their house is worth it's highest valuation. Don't buy next to state housing (often having a single rather than double is a good sign) Did you have any areas in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiebird Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hi newjez, Thank you for your reply. We will be looking from secret harbour, down towards halls head areas, hopefully beach side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good look round to get a sense of value, and don't be scared to offer low. All they can do is turn it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
