Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Property in Australia
Understand Eligibility & Regulations
Foreign investors must obtain approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) before purchasing residential property in Australia. Typically, non-residents can invest in new developments, off-the-plan properties, or vacant land for construction.
Define Your Investment Goals
Identify whether your focus is on rental yield, capital growth, or a combination of both. Ascot Property provides tailored property options aligned with your investment strategy.
Secure Financing & Budgeting
Australian banks may have restrictions on lending to foreign investors, so exploring alternative financing options or working with specialized lenders is key. Ascot Property connects you with trusted financial experts to streamline this process.
Select the Right Property
Choosing the right location and property type is crucial. Ascot Property has access to premium off-market opportunities and developments in high-demand metro and regional areas, ensuring you find the best investment to match your needs.
FIRB Application & Legal Process
Once you choose a property, an application must be submitted to FIRB. Legal due diligence, contract review, and compliance checks are essential steps. Our team assists in coordinating with legal professionals to ensure a hassle-free process.
Sign Contracts & Pay Deposit
After approval, you’ll sign a contract and typically pay a 10% deposit. Ascot Property ensures a smooth transaction by liaising with developers and agents on your behalf.
