FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers about selling before settlement, our buyers, locations, overseas buyers and how nominating works.
Can I sell my property before settlement?
Often, yes. Many off-the-plan contracts allow you to nominate a buyer or transfer the contract before settlement, though it depends on your contract's terms and usually needs the developer's consent. Nominate your property and we'll talk you through your options.
Do you have agents in my area?
Yes. Our Australian-based agents cover Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory, metro and regional, and we also have agents overseas.
How experienced are your agents?
Our team is made up of Australian-based agents with between 5 and 45+ years of experience in real estate.
Does it cost anything to nominate my property?
No. Nominating your property is free and there is no obligation to sell.
What does it mean to nominate a buyer before settlement?
Some off-the-plan contracts let the original purchaser nominate another party to complete the purchase, or assign the contract, before settlement. Whether this is possible depends on your contract and usually the developer's consent.
Why would someone sell before settlement?
Common reasons include changes in finances, a valuation shortfall at settlement, relocating, or changing investment plans.
Are there costs or taxes involved?
There can be. Developer fees, legal costs, stamp duty and tax vary by state and contract. Get advice from your solicitor or conveyancer and accountant.
Do you sell to overseas buyers?
Yes. Our overseas agents introduce international investors to Australian property. Foreign buyers must follow Australia's foreign investment rules; they are currently banned from buying established dwellings (with limited exceptions) but can generally buy new and off-the-plan property with approval.
What types of property can I nominate?
Houses, units, townhouses, land, house-and-land packages, development sites and off-the-plan properties, whether settled or not yet settled.
