Free Property Buyer Checklist

Buying a property involves many different steps. There are inspections to arrange, finance to confirm, documents to review and settlement details to organise ? often all at the same time. This free property buyer checklist is designed to help you stay organised and work through each stage of the process more confidently.

The checklist outlines common stages many buyers work through, from early planning and finance, through to searching, due diligence, building and pest inspections, and final settlement. It is written in clear, practical language so you can see what you have covered and what may still need attention.

It can be used by buyers in a range of markets, including major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra, as well as regional areas across New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC) and Queensland (QLD). The exact process can vary between locations and individual circumstances, but the overall structure can be a useful starting point.

Enter your details below and we'll send you a straightforward guide you can refer to before, during and after your next property purchase.

What's included:

  • Step-by-step buyer phases from planning to settlement
  • Finance, search and due diligence prompts
  • Practical checks for inspections, documents and settlement

Why use a structured property buyer checklist?

A clear checklist can make it easier to keep track of what needs to be done and when. It helps you see the overall process at a glance, so you can plan ahead, set reminders and reduce the chance of overlooking important tasks. When you are dealing with agents, finance providers and advisers, it is helpful to have one central document that keeps everything in order.

The same principles apply whether you are purchasing in a busy city market or a quieter regional area. Buyers in locations such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra and other parts of NSW, VIC and QLD can adapt the checklist to suit local conditions, individual contracts and the type of property involved.

What the property buyer checklist covers

  • Clarifying your goals and preparing a budget range
  • Initial conversations with finance providers before you start making offers
  • Shortlisting areas and properties that match your needs and preferences
  • Suggested topics to discuss with legal and other professional advisers
  • Building, pest and other inspections to better understand the condition of the property
  • Checks and tasks to work through in the lead-up to settlement and handover

The document is not legal, financial or personal advice, but it can act as a practical starting point to help you prepare questions and discussions with qualified professionals. You can customise it for your own situation, whether you are buying a home to live in or an investment property.
