Basically if you decide you would like to purchase the property you tell the agent you want to put a contract on it.
you give your details and include your clauses which are building and pest which can be any amount of time you like as long as the vendor agrees to it an average time is 7, 10 or 14 days you also put your finance clause in which is average 14,21,30 days
you then state what settlement date you want generally 30,45,60,90 days you also put in what deposit you would like to pay again you choose the amout keep it small like $500 or what ever you are comfy with remember it's your choice there are not set amounts. you also state the price you would like to pay they then take the written contract that you have signed to the vendor they either counter sign with a higher amount or they sign it off and accept your offer. You then orgainse you building and pest ect and go from there. there is another thread on here in regards to "the other buyer"

Sounds a bit dodge, how does the agent know there will be no problems with the immigration department?
working in Real estate i have not come across it before, but you would be suprised with all the different clause people put on contracts.

As silly as this may seem sometimes changing the wording and pictures in your advertising
makes the a difference

Being told by my parents to buy an investment property when i was 16 and living at home and earning good money.
i was too scared to try and thought people would laugh me out of the bank. so i never tried. stupid move…

so what's next for you two???

alot of agencies are different 8.5% + GST is common also 7% plus postage and petties + GST
look around at every agency and play them off each other you should be able to get a better deal

Hi,

I work in a real estate agency and all tenants must notify of there intention to obtain a pet then it is up to the owner to say yay or nay, the person who does the inspections ( not necessarily the property manager)  should know if there is an animal unless they took it else where while the inspection was being done. also 8.8% is a little on the dear side try to renegotiate especially if this is you 2nd property. Usually if owners agree to a pet they opt to put the rent up by $5 -10 and put a clause in the tenancy agreement that the tenant is liable for any damage, carpet and flea treatments. if you pm wont listen tell them you will go else where if that doesnt do anything then i would definatley find some one else.
