General information only — not legal or financial advice. Settlement timelines, milestone descriptions and action items are for guidance only. Actual settlement processes vary by state, lender, conveyancer and transaction type. Risk transfer dates, insurance requirements and document obligations differ by jurisdiction. Always rely on the advice of your licensed conveyancer or solicitor and your lender for your specific settlement.

Compares dozens of lenders for you, sorts pre-approval, and tells you in real numbers what you can actually borrow and repay.

Before you start seriously looking — pre-approval lasts ~3 months.

Last 2 payslips, 3 months of bank statements, ID, list of debts (credit cards, HECS, car loans), and your deposit savings history.

Reads the contract line by line, checks title and easements, runs council searches, and handles the money + paperwork at settlement so the house legally becomes yours.

Before you sign anything.

A copy of the contract (or Section 32 / Form 1 / vendor pack for your state), your ID, and your loan details once finance is approved.

A licensed inspector walks the property and reports on structural issues, moisture, termites, dodgy renovations and likely repair costs — in plain English.

During the cooling-off period, or before unconditional offer/auction.

Property address, access arrangement with the agent, and any quirks you noticed (cracks, smells, dampness) to flag.

Works exclusively for you — searches off-market, vets properties, negotiates price and bids at auction. Useful if you're time-poor or buying interstate.

Right at the start of your property hunt.

Your brief: suburbs, budget, must-haves vs nice-to-haves, and your pre-approval amount.

Compares loans across lenders, explains borrowing capacity and helps you get pre-approval.

Before you start inspecting seriously — pre-approval shows sellers you are ready.

Payslips, tax returns, bank statements, ID and a list of debts and expenses.

Arranges building insurance from the moment contracts are exchanged (in most states the risk shifts to you immediately) plus landlord or contents cover.

The day your offer is accepted — not at settlement.

Contract of sale, rebuild estimate (your inspector or builder can help), and any prior claims history.

Everything on More Home is general information for homeowners — not personal financial, legal or tax advice. Your circumstances are unique, so always confirm decisions with a licensed professional.

Cooling-off periods, vendor disclosure documents, auction rules and deposit limits are all set by state law. Choose your state at the top of this page to see the rules that apply to you.

Engaging a selling agent requires a written appointment that sets out commission, marketing costs and the agency period. You are allowed to negotiate every line — and to compare agents.

Your checklists, notes and quiz results are private to you. We never share your information with agents, brokers or third parties without your written permission.

If something feels off — pressure to sign on the spot, a contract you don't understand, or a deposit request before signing — pause and call your conveyancer. Reputable professionals will never rush you.
