At WISEBERRY®, we would like to make your move as easy as possible.
As part of the process of selling your home, we would like to remind
you to take the following steps:
-
Contact your financial institution to ascertain the discharge
of mortgage and release the security procedures and the pay-out
figure to ensure you can obtain sufficient funds from the sale
of your home to discharge the mortgage.
-
Contact your solicitor/conveyancer to arrange for the preparation
of a contract for the sale of your property.
-
Find out from your solicitor/conveyancer whether you need to
obtain or update a survey report and a building certificate.
-
Attend to the presentation of your home; it is amazing what
little things can do! Talk to a WISEBERRY® agent if you need
some more tips, we are happy to help. Remember that both the
outside and inside of your home count!
-
Contact your solicitor/conveyancer and financial institution
upon the successful sale of your home; they will need your instructions
and prompt communication can sometimes save issues down the
track.
-
Book removalists once you have ascertained the anticipated
completion date of the contract. Make sure to get packing boxes
as early as possible and seek the removalists’ advice on moving
issues.
-
Once you have a firm date for settlement disconnect the services
to your home, such as telephone, gas and electricity. You may
also have to disconnect other services such as a ‘back to base’
alarm and foxtel.
You can also organise your utility accounts online.
-
Cancel or change your home and contents insurance.
-
Communicate your change of address details to necessary parties
such as the RTA, banking institutions (for bank statements and
the like), car insurer, current and past employers, medical
funds and organizations to which you have a membership or subscriptions
(such as newspaper, magazines).
Alternatively, you can organise with Australia Post to redirect your mail to your new address.
-
Leave the fixtures to the house as contracted. It is amazing
what buyers remember when it comes to curtains and other fixed
items.
-
Ensure that you have made arrangements to remove any unwanted
items before settlement. Vacant possession means exactly that;
empty!
-
Remember to leave us the keys!!!
