As we welcome the New Year, many of us set resolutions to achieve personal and professional milestones. For some, 2025 could be the perfect time to purchase a new property. Whether you’re a first-home buyer, upgrading to accommodate a growing family, or investing in real estate, the start of the year presents a fresh opportunity to align your goals with a significant life step like property ownership.
At Select Conveyancing Lane Cove, we understand that buying a property is not just a financial commitment; it’s an emotional journey and an investment in your future. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind as you take your first steps toward purchasing a new property in 2025:
1. Set Clear Goals
Before attending inspections or browsing listings online, you must clarify what you want in your new property.
Ask yourself:
•What type of property suits your needs—apartment, townhouse, or freestanding home?
•Which locations align with your lifestyle or investment goals?
•What’s your budget, and are you factoring in hidden costs like stamp duty, legal fees, and maintenance?
2. Assess Your Financial Position
The beginning of the year is an ideal time to reassess your finances. Speak with a mortgage broker to determine how much you can borrow and explore loan options. A strong financial foundation will give you confidence as you navigate the property market.
3. Research the Market
Lane Cove and surrounding suburbs offer diverse opportunities for buyers, from established family homes to modern apartments. Take the time to research trends in the local market, including median prices and demand, to ensure you’re making a well-informed decision.
4. Engage a Trusted Conveyancer Early
A reliable conveyancer ensures your property transaction is seamless and stress-free. At Select Conveyancing Lane Cove, we specialise in handling all the legal aspects of property transactions, from reviewing contracts to assisting with settlement. Engaging us early in the process means you’ll have expert guidance every step of the way.
5. Be Ready to Act
The property market can move quickly, and opportunities can be fleeting. Ensure your finances are pre-approved and you’ve engaged the necessary professionals so that you can move forward confidently when you find the perfect property.
