1. Figure Out What You Want and Need: Identify your ideal Brisbane suburb and property type,
   ensuring they align with your lifestyle and future needs, as this is likely a significant investment for
   you.
2. Find Properties: To beat out competitors dedicate at least 20 hours per week to search for both on-
   market and off-market properties by building a strong network through contacting agents, private
   sellers, online portals, sending emails and SMS, and door-knocking.
3. Get Your Finances Ready: Secure pre-approval for a loan or ensure you have liquid cash. Having
   your 5% or 10% deposit ready will streamline the purchasing process.
4. Do Your Homework: Research Brisbane’s property market trends thoroughly and visit homes in your
   desired areas to gain a deeper understanding of the market.
5. Narrow Down Your Choices: Shortlist a few properties that fit your budget, lifestyle, yield and that it
   aligns with current market trends to focus your efforts.
6. Figure Out What It’s Worth: Assess the true market value of your shortlisted properties by
   comparing them to recent sales of similar homes in the same suburb.
7. Get Legal Help: Hire a solicitor experienced in Brisbane property transactions to review contracts and
   ensure all legal aspects are covered.
8. Negotiate the Deal: Strategise to negotiate the best possible terms for your preferred property. An
   early offer can often increase your chances of securing the deal even if you have to make another.
9. Prepare for Property Inspections: Schedule professional inspections to assess the property’s
   structural integrity, check for pest infestations, and evaluate flood risks or other potential issues. Key
   issues to look out for include structural damage (such as cracks in walls or foundations), pest
   infestations (especially termites), mould or dampness, faulty plumbing or electrical systems, and
   flood risk if the property is located in a flood-prone area.
10. Sign the Contract: With your solicitor’s help, finalise the contract, ensuring all legal obligations and
    conditions are met.
11. Final Settlement and Pre-Settlement Inspection: Before finalising the settlement, conduct a pre-
    settlement inspection to ensure the property is in the agreed condition, then proceed with the title
    transfer smoothly. A pre-settlement inspection should ensure the property is in the same condition
    as when you signed the contract. Check for any new damages, verify that agreed repairs have been
    completed, and ensure all fixtures and fittings included in the sale are still present and functioning.
