TIPS FOR BUYING A HOUSE IN QUEENSLAND

• What furniture you would like to stay on the property, and if they are included in the contract?
• You need to buy insurance as soon as you sign the contract. This is because you are liable if something happens to the property as soon as you sign the contract.
• You leave enough time for the finance, building and pest condition.
  The contract is legally binding, so make sure you engage a lawyer before signing the contract.
• Make sure you include any special conditions on the contract.
• You need to discuss your intentions with your lawyer and think about what searches you would like to conduct on the property; for example, specific searches are needed if you want to demolish the property and build a new house.
• If you are buying the property with your partner, do you want the property to be joint tenancy or tenant in common? (The joint tenancy offers all co-owners an equal share, and the property goes automatically to their partner upon death. On the other hand, tenants in common varying ownership amounts; for example, one holder may own 60%, while another owns 40%. If the property is owned by tenants in common, on the death of one of the tenants in common, the deceased person’s fractional share is distributed according to their will.)
