When’s the right time to get your documents ready for selling a property?

When Covid-19 hit Australia earlier in this year, never did we dream the huge positive impact it would have on the Bendigo property market.

As the year draws to a close, Bendigo is booming and our conveyancing department is working harder than Santa’s Elves getting settlements completed before the big day.

While there is a lot of activity stimulated by the government incentives and Melbournians realising life is much better in regional Victoria, we are also seeing a lot of buying and selling within Bendigo. No doubt some of that has come from people spending so much time at home during restrictions and realising they need a different home to meet their needs. There are also a lot of people recognising Bendigo is a great place to invest in property.

If you are intending to sell a property, this demand in the market means you want to be prepared with all the right documents before your property hits the market.

When you start thinking about selling, there’s a lot to do — decluttering, fixing up those little things around the house, styling the home like you are on The Block! Then there is selecting an agent, arranging the listing, tidying the garden all before that sign goes up.

To be 100% ready for a quick and eager buyer, you want to make sure you have your vendor statement in preparation before you engage your agent and have it ready to go as soon as the property hits the market. All too often we find that people haven’t thought about the vendor statement until the property is listed which, in a market like we have now, could mean a sale is missed.

So, before you start the loads to the tip and op shop, you need to give us at OFRM Property a call to get the ball rolling on your vendor statement. From there the process is easy, we get the relevant information from you, obtain the certificates that need to be included and prepare the document Then it is ready to be signed by you and sent to your selected agent as soon as you select them.

You can contact OFRM’s conveyancing team by booking an appointment online or calling 03 5445 1000.
