FROM SALE TO SETTLEMENT TOP TIPS Why working with Barfoot & Thompson can help sell your home. In our recent editions we have discussed the steps involved in selling your home, from getting ready to sell right through to the ins and outs of offers and negotiations. This article examines what happens after the sale, and on settlement day. Remember we have more information and a range of videos on our website to help you make the very best choices. barfoot.co.nz/sell/selling-guide Congratulations: your property has sold! Now what? After the bubbly has been popped and the celebrations are over, our clients often ask us: “Now what?” Not to worry, the route from sale to settlement is a relatively straight forward one, and your Barfoot & Thompson sales person will guide you every step of the way. Unconditional vs. Settlement Once the agreement you have signed “goes unconditional” it is legally binding, meaning both you and the purchaser now have to fulfil obligations specified in the contract in order for the property to change owership. Deposit Upon the sale of the property, the purchaser is required to pay a deposit. We will hold this deposit in the Barfoot & Thompson trust account for 10 working days.
