In the real estate industry, buyers come in a variety of shapes and
sizes. Even more varied is the type of real estate they are looking to
buy.
No matter what type of property you're looking for - Do Your Homework!
Our consultants will spend time with you assessing your lifestyle needs
so as to help them and you better understand what property would suit
you best.
The Cost of buying Real Estate
As a buyer you may incur costs such as stamp duty, payable to the State
Government, conveyancing costs and other legal fees, building and pest
inspection reports, a valuation report, and costs payable to a
financial institution.
A buyer who terminates a Contract under the 5-business day cooling off
provision, may still have to pay a cost to the seller.
First Home Owners Grant
To offset the impact of the GST, the State and Territories will assist
first home buyers to the tune of $7000 through the administration of a
uniform First Home Owners Grant (FHOG). The Grant, administered in
Queensland by the Office of State Revenue, commenced on 1 July 2000 and
applies to people who are buying or building their first home.

Buying as an investment
As half-a-million property investors around Australia will tell you,
buying an investment property involves much forward planning, not
unlike the purchase of a family home. But while the decision to buy a
family home is usually very emotive, buying investment property should
be based on a logical and calculated process.
Investors have to remember that whereas a family home is a purchase
from the heart an investment property is very much a purchase from the
head.
To minimize the risk of getting stuck with a bad investment we here at
Complete Realty recommend you speak to our property management
department prior to buying as they will explain the different rents
& returns for different areas, the hot spots, and what tenants
are willing to pay the top dollar for.
