Home Buying Kit

I know how much busier your life has become since you’ve started house-hunting. Here is a way to make things easier, be more organized and save some precious time:

1. Enter your name and email in the boxes below, hit “Submit” and I will send you 3 checklists.

2. Print these checklists and take them to inspections, tick the boxes while walking through the house.

Use checklist #1 for all the houses you’re looking at for the first time. The purpose of the first inspection is to create a first impression and checklist #1 will help to remember the most important components that first impression is based on.

Use checklist #2 when inspecting the houses you’ve short-listed as final candidates, for your second inspection. The second inspection is the thorough one, which you conduct with a purpose to determine whether the house is worth the asking price and if not, how much lower your offer should be.

Use checklist #3 to inspect the house you’ve bought prior to settlement. This last inspection is your chance to make sure that all the appliances are working, all the fixtures and fixings are in place and that no unwanted items were left in the property. Any problems that you can find before settlement may be fixed at the vendor’s expense – instead of your own.

Happy house hunting!
