Buying a property in Franschhoek is now much easier than ever before. This is because you have the option of using the services of a buyer’s agent. Buyers normally face many challenges, but they can be overcome with the use of a buyer’s agent, in the following ways.
Saving You The Hassle of Doing Your Own Research
Your initial search process needs to be thorough. It can be very difficult to find all properties for sale in Franschhoek because of the numerous advertising mediums available for sellers. Checking all newspapers, internet listings and other sources is tiring and frustrating. This is why you need the assistance of a buyer’s agent.
With SAHomeBuyers as your agent, you will have someone who has access to all properties worth buying in Franschhoek. They will ensure that you have your choice of all properties for sale in Franschhoek, from estate agents’ listings to private sellers and developers, including properties that are not yet on the market.
Professional Legal Support
Legal support is so important when buying a house, a transaction involving such a lot of money. You want to be sure that you don’t make any mistakes. One of the most important documents that you will sign when you are buying a house is the Offer To Purchase agreement (OTP). It is pre-written by the seller or their agent.
It states that once you have signed it, you are agreeing to buying a property in Franschhoek as you saw it. It has no cooling off period and has very little room for a clause that allows you to back out of buying a property if there is a problem with it. However, there is a suspensive clause that you can insert in the OTP document.
It allows you room to change your mind about buying a property in Franschhoek in the event of, for example, faults being found when a survey is done on the property for sale. SAHomebuyers retains lawyers that are experts in property to inform you of your rights and help you make the best decisions when buying a property in Franschhoek.
Negotiating a Price That Works For You
Negotiating the price when buying a property in Franschhoek is of course the most important part of the buying process. Many buyers do not realise that the asking price listed on the property for sale may not reflect what the property is actually worth.
It is a price set by the seller, who is hoping for the highest possible price to be paid for the property. Their agent is supporting them in that. With SAHomeBuyers expertise and resources, you can figure out an appropriate price, when buying a property in Franschhoek.
Factors such as time on the market, the prices of other property in the area as well as the previous prices of the property for sale are all very important. SAHomeBuyers has access to all this information and will be able to use it to your advantage during the price negotiations.
Plus, with their protection, emotions are kept out of the negotiation process. All of these factors can help the buyer save a lot of money when it comes to the final buying price. With SAHomeBuyers on your side, you can potentially save thousands or even millions of Rands when buying a property in Franschhoek.
