Buying or selling a home, or investing in real estate, is one of the biggest decisions and financial commitments you can make.
Strong emotions can affect your decision-making process when it comes to real estate, so it is important your decisions are based on objective nad thorough information so you are more likely to choose property that suits your current and future lifestyles and priorities.
This Guide will help you make decisions, understand the paperwork and outline actions you need to take when buying or selling real estate, including investment property. It also gives tips on related issues such as becoming a landlord and moving house.
It will help you avoid common pitfalls and help you understand your rights and responsibilities under the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 (the Act) which safeguards property buyers and sellers.
