AI summary
After your home sells, the process is finalized with a Sale and Purchase Agreement, which a property lawyer must review.
This begins the settlement period, typically lasting six weeks and including a pre-settlement inspection. On settlement day, lawyers manage the final payment and transfer of ownership. Once agent fees and any mortgage are paid from the proceeds, you receive the balance of the sale price and the keys are handed over to the new owner.

If you sold by tender, you review all offers by a deadline and select which (if any) you want to accept.
