The key to stress-free bargain hunting

Buying a home is a big decision. But while the process of buying or selling property can be quite a daunting experience, you don't have to get caught off guard when you have the right agent by your side.

Bargain hunting for property during a buyer's market (as we have right now) goes far beyond just finding the right property, getting a bond approved and putting down a deposit. While most estate agents are only worried about their commission, some might forget to mention legal fees and other costs that are applicable in the transfer process of buying property. Apart from the deposit and monthly repayments, a property buyer should be aware of transfer fees/duties, levies, taxes and other small amounts that add up in the process of buying property.

Traditionally, property transfers involve four people: Buyer, Seller, Estate Agent and Lawyer. However, at 3%.Com Properties, we know the ins and outs of the property business like no other since we act as both lawyer and Estate Agent.

Whether you're concerned about your rates and taxes, or just looking out for your own security in the deeds transfer process, we want to make sure that you know exactly what (and what not) you're signing up for. We make sure you don't have to worry about the in-betweens and keep you updated along the way.
