Buying Information

The team at Dicky Beach Real Estate want to meet their client's expectations, but this can only be done with the help of the client. Please provide us with as much information as you possibly can about the property you want as your next home.

The following information can be used as a guide to help us help you:

  • Do you have children and need to be close to schools, day care centres or sporting facilities?
  • Do you have a preference for a new estate or older established estates?
  • Do you want to live close to the beach?
  • Do you want to easily access bus routes, motorways, or train stations?
  • Do you want to live close to major shopping centres?
  • Do you want to live in Caloundra, Maroochydore, Noosa, or the many beautiful places between?
  • Do you want to live in the rural hinterland?
  • How much is your budget?
  • How many bedrooms do you need?
  • Do you want a large garden?
  • Are you ready to buy, or are you waiting to sell first?

The following information is a useful guide to help you:

  • Speak with your financier or your Finance Consultant to arrange the best loan to suit your needs;
  • Prepare a short list of preferred suburbs that suit your lifestyle, bearing in mind affordability and accommodation requirements;
  • Research sales in those preferred suburbs. Inspect every property in your preferred suburb so you have a feel for the prices. Attend all open homes in the area;
  • Develop a relationship with one of our professional team who specialise in your preferred area;
  • Register on our website to automatically receive notification of any new listings that hit the market;
  • When you find a property that suits your requirements, ask your agent to send a copy of the sale contract to your solicitor or conveyancer;
  • If you are considering making an offer, we recommend that you contact your Dicky Beach Sales Consultant promptly who can guide you if you are in any way unsure of the process;
  • Your solicitor can arrange a building inspection to make sure you are aware of any possible major defects;
  • Following your solicitors or conveyancer's advice on the sale contract and taking into consideration the building reports, you are now able to make an informed decision to proceed with the purchase of the property;
  • Once negotiations have been finalised, you will be required to sign the sale contract and pay a deposit (usually 10%). Your deposit will be held in a trust account until settlement. At settlement, contracts will then be unconditionally exchanged;
  • On settlement day it is advisable that you do a final inspection before settlement takes place. This is to ensure that the property is in the same condition as when you last inspected it, and that all inclusions are as per the contract you signed.
