What You Need to Remember
Finally, it is time to settle the sale of the home you have purchased at auction. There are however many things you’ll need to organize between the time you sign the contract of sale and the settlement date.
During the settlement period, you will need to fulfil the conditions outlined in the contract of sale as well as any other obligations you have.
Finance
Before the settlement date rolls around, you will need to contact your mortgage lender and organise your finance for the home. Whether you’re closing a bridging loan, using a loan portability feature or taking out another mortgage, your finance needs to be organised as soon as possible.
The balance of the home is due on settlement day and will usually be paid to the seller once the lender has authorised the payment. Home buyers in Fresno
Conditions
If you outlined any special conditions in your contract of sale, now is the time to fulfil these. For instance, the sale of your home may be subject to an inspection, valuation or some type of work by the owner.
For a smooth transaction, this needs to be organised well in advance to ensure everything is completed by settlement day.
Handover
Once both parties and solicitors have written to the agent to confirm the sale has settled, the agent can organise the handover of the keys to the new owner.
This can take a couple of hours to be finalised, so it’s a good idea to organise your removalists to come to your home the day after settlement.
