Melbourne's auction culture rewards buyers who've done the homework. Get your finance and questions sorted before the day.
The essentials, anywhere in VIC
Know the value
Pull comparable sales and an indicative value range for any Melbourne-area address before you enquire.
Ask the right questions
Building & pest, the contract and disclosure documents, settlement terms and price expectations.
Track your conditions
Keep finance, building & pest and settlement dates in front of you with reminders.
Contract & disclosure
In Victoria, sellers provide a Section 32 (vendor's statement). Read it carefully with your solicitor or conveyancer.
Stamp duty and any first-home buyer concessions apply in Victoria and change over time, so check current rates with the Victoria revenue office and confirm specifics with your solicitor or broker.
