After your home sells, you'll sign a legally binding Sale and Purchase Agreement. It's vital to have a property lawyer review this document, which details the price, conditions, and key dates.
The settlement period follows, typically lasting around six weeks. This phase includes a pre-settlement inspection to confirm the property's condition.
On settlement day, lawyers manage the final payment. After paying your mortgage and agent fees, the remaining funds are transferred to your account.
