The First Home Check

Every home is vetted on 8 things that are important to first home buyers

We only list homes a first home buyer can realistically buy, borrow on and insure.

  • It's expected to sell for under $1 million.
  • The seller will consider offers conditional on finance and inspections.
  • It's sold by price or negotiation, not auction or set date of sale.
  • The title has no known issues, such as caveats, that block lending.
  • Standard house insurance can be arranged on it.
  • Work on the home is consented, with a Code Compliance Certificate.
  • A building report is available, or the seller is happy for you to get one.
  • A LIM is available, or the seller is happy for one to be ordered.
