In Australia it is strongly advisable to use a mortgage broker to assist with finance. Brokers work for you and can generally negotiate better deals than you can directly with banks and lenders.

Each State and Territory has different legal requirements when dealing with various Acts of Parliament affecting property like; Sale of land Act, Residential Tenancies Act and Privacy Act. Some Acts are State and others Federal so it is important to use a Solicitor who has a license to practice within the location where you are purchasing.

Building inspections are advisable when buying established real estate and, in some locations , a white ant inspection certificate must be provided by the seller.
