Selling your property can be an exciting time for some as you look forward to new opportunities, and a sad time for others as you recall fond memories. Whether you are selling your home or an investment property, selling a property will most likely be the greatest transaction that you will enter into during your lifetime. Not only are residential properties worth comparatively more than other assets you might own, the steps and procedures that need to be followed to successfully transfer title to the property requires the support from experienced and knowledge professionals.

Here is a quick guide to breakdown the steps required to sell your property.

1. Consider modifications or improvements

You will need to ensure that your property is ready for sale. Consider any modifications or improvements that might increase the potential for your property to attract a higher price. Ensure that the property complies with building codes and regulations to avoid any issues.

2. Engage a real estate agent

You will need to engage a real estate agent who has access to an experienced sales team, one who can manage the end-to-end process and will support you and communicate with you along the way. You will need to consider either an auction or a private sale, the price range, timing for the sale and other particulars.

3. Engage a lawyer or conveyancer

In conjunction with engaging a real estate agent, you will need to engage a lawyer or conveyancer to draft the Contract of Sale (including the Vendor’s Statement (section 32)). These documents need to be ready should a potential buyer be keen to make a written offer. Your lawyer or conveyancer will also support the real estate agent in managing the sale.

4. Notify your tax agent or accountant, and bank

If you own an investment property, make sure that you notify your tax agent or accountant to check whether you may be subject to any particular tax liabilities. Common liabilities include Capital Gains Tax. Depending on how ownership of the property is structured, there may be others. You will also need to advise your bank if you will need to discharge a mortgage.

5. Stay positive and be patient

Selling in a rush is not ideal. Also, some properties are better suited to an auction or private sale depending on the property style, demand for similar properties in the area, recent sales history and your preferences. Remember to work collaboratively with the real estate agent and to remain positive and patient. It’s important to consider the market at the time of selling given the real estate market varies depending on the location, property type, time of year, length of advertising time and other consumer-driven factors.
