Buying a home is a monumental decision, and getting it right involves meticulous planning and consideration. Let's dive into the step-by-step process of purchasing your ideal property in Western Australia, while also highlighting the benefits of choosing One Percent Realty WA for your selling needs.

Step 1: Determining Your Budget
Your financial landscape sets the stage. Consider savings, income, and expenses to establish a solid budget. Seeking advice from a financial advisor or mortgage broker will give you a clearer perspective on affordability. Remember, factoring in additional costs like stamp duty, legal fees, and moving expenses is crucial.

Step 2: Pre-Approval for a Mortgage
Now, it's time to secure that pre-approval for a mortgage. Meeting with a lender or mortgage broker helps gauge your financial eligibility and the borrowing capacity. This step not only clarifies your purchasing power but also streamlines your property hunt.

Step 3: Market Research
Armed with your budget knowledge, delve into the Western Australia real estate market. Different areas offer diverse amenities, property types, and pricing. Factors like school proximity, transport, and shopping options matter. Utilise online listings, attend open houses, and engage with local agents to grasp market nuances.

Step 4: Initiate Your Property Search
With a clear budget and market insights, kickstart your property hunt. Jot down must-have features for your dream home. Take your time visiting potential properties and keep track of your impressions. Rushing isn't necessary; finding the perfect property might take a while.

Step 5: Crafting Offers and Negotiating
Found 'the one'? Time to make an offer! 

Step 6: Due Diligence Phase
Upon offer acceptance, it's due diligence time. Inspections, financing checks, and legal document reviews are on the agenda. Thorough property inspections are vital to ensure value alignment with your purchase price.

Step 7: Finalising the Purchase
Meeting all conditions leads to finalising the purchase. Contracts, settlements, paperwork—your solicitor or conveyancer navigates the legal aspects seamlessly.

Step 8: Settlement and Handover
The big day arrives—settlement day! The property officially becomes yours. Pay the purchase price, transfer ownership, and collect the keys to your new home. It's time to start the exhilarating process of moving in!
