Choose Vivid for Perth Real Estate Sales

While it’s not legally required to have finance pre-approval before making an offer, it’s highly recommended. Pre-approval gives you a clear understanding of your borrowing capacity and shows sellers you’re a serious and prepared buyer, often making your offer more competitive.

At Vivid Financial, our in-house finance specialists can assist you with securing pre-approval quickly and confidently. We assess your individual circumstances, navigate the most suitable lending options, and ensure you’re in the best possible position to act when the right property comes along. This is part of what we call being Buyer Ready, equipping you with the clarity, confidence, and credibility needed to secure your ideal property.

Absolutely. You can make an offer on a property subject to the sale of your current home, commonly known as a “subject to sale” clause. If your offer is accepted, a timeframe will be set for you to secure a buyer for your existing property, if this isn’t met, the seller may proceed with other offers.

While this is a common arrangement, sellers often view subject-to-sale offers as less attractive, especially if other buyers present unconditional offers. To improve your chances, you may need to strengthen your offer and provide assurances that you’re committed to selling your property.

At Vivid, we help buyers navigate this process by coordinating both buying and selling to keep the chain secure and maintain confidence for all parties involved. Additionally, our Vivid Financial team offers bridging finance options to provide greater flexibility when buying and selling concurrently.

This is a common concern among buyers, as everyone aims to secure their ideal property without overpaying. Striking the right balance between a competitive offer and fair market value is crucial. It’s important to remember that offers are not solely about price, demonstrating certainty and reliability to the seller can be equally influential. Consider the following guidance:

• Engage with the agent: Experienced agents have valuable insight into their seller’s expectations and can provide realistic guidance on price within the current market context.

• Conduct thorough research: Compare recent sales and market trends in the area to confidently assess the property’s value.

• Secure Finance: Obtain finance pre-approval and understand your borrowing capacity to ensure your offer is supported by solid financial footing to enhance its attractiveness.

• Avoid lowball offers: While it may be tempting to offer well below asking price, this approach often undermines negotiations and can result in missed opportunities. Presenting a reasonable and well-considered offer is essential.

• If your purchase depends on selling another property: Show clear commitment to selling your existing property, and consider strengthening your offer to remain competitive, as sellers often prioritise certainty of settlement.

Our team can assist you in navigating this process to craft an offer that is both compelling and aligned with your property goals.

Yes, engaging a settlement agent is essential when purchasing a property. Settlement agents act as your legal representative to manage and oversee the final stages of the transaction. They coordinate closely with the seller’s settlement agent to ensure all necessary documentation is completed, conduct important legal and financial checks, facilitate the transfer of funds, and confirm the transfer of property title. Their expertise helps ensure a smooth and compliant settlement process, giving you peace of mind as you finalise your purchase.
