Buying a property in Western Australia
Perth and WA often run on private treaty with offer-and-acceptance. Strong research and the right conditions help you negotiate well.
The essentials, anywhere in WA
Know the value
Pull comparable sales and an indicative value range for any Perth-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
Ask the agent for the contract and any available disclosure documents, and confirm the conditions with your settlement agent or solicitor.
Stamp duty and any first-home buyer concessions apply in Western Australia and change over time, so check current rates with the Western Australia revenue office and confirm specifics with your solicitor or broker.
