The seven stages of buying a home. Guides are grouped by stage; the report belongs at checking and offering, before any number goes on paper.

Getting ready

Costs and duty

Stamp duty, first-home concessions, LMI, the upfront cost stack in your state.

Guides for this stage are being written.

Searching

Reading listings, price guides and what the campaign is telling you.

Checking a property

Comparable sales, fair value, inspections, strata, the questions to ask.

Offering and auctions

Offers, auctions, reserves and the rules that change state by state.

Contract to settlement

Cooling-off, disclosure documents, conveyancing and what happens after the offer.

Guides for this stage are being written.

Helping a child buy

For parents putting money or a guarantee behind a purchase, and the adult children they are helping: a gift, a loan, a guarantee or co-buying, and what each means for both generations and the lender.
