Are you planning to purchase a property this year? Wondering what essential steps you need to take before making an offer?
At Lyon Legal & Conveyancing Services, servicing Northern NSW from our offices in Inverell and Tamworth, we understand that buying a property can feel overwhelming. Our experienced team is here to answer your questions and guide you through the process to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Here are some important steps to consider before placing an offer on a property:
1. Secure Your Finance
Whether you’re a cash buyer or planning to apply for a home loan, it’s essential to have your finances organised before you make an offer. Speaking with your bank or mortgage broker early will help you understand your borrowing capacity and put you in a strong position when the time comes to exchange contracts and proceed to settlement.

2. Engage Lyon Legal as Your Conveyancer
Before making an offer, it’s important to have your conveyancer’s details ready to provide to the real estate agent. Our team at Lyon Legal & Conveyancing Services will carefully review the Contract for Sale, advise you of your rights and obligations, and ensure you fully understand the legal terms before proceeding with the purchase.

3. Inspect the Property Carefully
This may seem like a simple step, but it’s one that buyers sometimes rush. Take your time to thoroughly inspect the property—ideally more than once—to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
4. Arrange a Pest and Building Report
We strongly recommend that you organize a pest and building inspection early. This will help identify any structural issues, building defects, or pest concerns before you commit to buying the property.
Whether you’re purchasing locally or from out of town, Lyon Legal & Conveyancing Services is here to support you at every step of the journey.
