AI summary
After your home sells, the process is finalised with a legally binding Sale and Purchase Agreement. It is crucial to have a property lawyer review this document, which outlines the price, conditions, and key dates.
A deposit is paid, followed by the settlement period (often six weeks), which includes a pre-settlement inspection. On settlement day, the buyer pays the remaining balance, your lawyer handles paying fees and your mortgage, and ownership is officially transferred to the new owner.
