Guides

The playbook for selling and buying direct.

Everything you need to sell for the best price and buy with confidence. No agent required, just clear guidance.

A simple picture of the journey. Both sides deal directly with each other, while their own conveyancer or solicitor handles the legal work.

For Sellers
Prepare, market, respond and decide.
1
Prepare your property

Engage your conveyancer or solicitor early: they gather and prepare the documents and disclosures your state requires for you, while you get the property ready to list. Form 02 finds the right firm.

2
Market your property

Create your listing, set your price from comparable evidence, and attract interested buyers.

3
Manage enquiries and offers

Reply quickly, run safe inspections, negotiate in writing and compare whole offers, not just price.

4
Agree and exchange

Record the agreed terms on the Sale Terms Summary; your conveyancers turn them into contracts and exchange.

5
Settle

Complete conditions, track the milestones and settle the sale.

Your conveyancer or solicitor handles the legal work.
For Buyers
Investigate, finance, inspect and decide.
1
Prepare your position

Know your budget, get finance sorted, and appoint your own conveyancer or solicitor.

2
Find the right property

Search, compare and inspect with confidence, and ask the owner everything.

3
Make an offer

Put your offer in writing with the Letter Of Offer and negotiate the terms.

4
Agree and exchange

Contracts are signed under your state’s process and the deposit goes only to a trust account.

5
Settle

Finalise conditions, complete the final inspection and take ownership.

Your conveyancer or solicitor handles the legal work.
