There are 8 stages to property buying. Quiz to work out your property buying stage coming soon!

I would like to buy property (either now or 'one day') *

It doesn't look like you have entered a property buying stage yet. Would you like assistance in developing your own WEALTH goal which has nothing to do with buying property? *

Great, we can support you with that. We have a free calculator to help you get started with your WEALTH building goals. Would you like to access our free investment calculator? *

I have a deposit (I can buy property with this deposit) *

I am saving for a deposit *

It looks like you are in the first stage of your property buying journey: the 'I want to buy property' stage. This stage is marked by a realisation that one day you'd like to buy a place of your own. You might have seen people making money with real estate and you'd like to do that too. Would you like tips on starting to save for your deposit? *

The best thing you can do for yourself to start saving is to have a 'you can't touch that money' account. That means setting aside money that you can't use for any purpose other than to save or invest the money until you build yourself a deposit. And when you have saved enough for a deposit, you can only use that money to buy either a house or some other reliable form of investment. We have a free calculator to help you get started in planning for your deposit. Would you like to access this investment calculator so that you can develop an investment plan for your situation? *

It looks like you are in the second stage of your property buying journey: the 'I'm saving to buy property' stage. You are actively saving for a deposit or you have a deposit, you may be looking at properties and you may be daydreaming about potential properties you could buy as you continue to build up your deposit. You're doing great, keep up those savings. We can also support you with your savings goals. We have a free calculator to help you get started with your WEALTH building goals. Would you like to access our free investment calculator? *

I have spoken with at least one lender *

It looks like you are in the third stage of your property buying journey: the 'I'm ready to buy' stage. You have actively saved for your deposit but you haven't spoken with any lenders yet. You may be visiting open homes and you may be daydreaming about potential properties you could buy as you continue to build on your deposit. You may even be wondering how much money to spend on a property and realising that it may be costing more than you first thought it would. This is the stage when you may even start to get more strategic as you consider what you can afford. You're doing great, keep up those savings as you continue to build up your deposit. In the meantime, did you know we have 30 ready-made questions that you can ask your lender? That's right, we've prepared questions so you can get on with having an informed discussion with your lender. This sets you up to make that call with your lender. Would you like to access our 30 questions to help support your chat with potential lenders? *

I have pre-approval for a home loan *

It looks like you are in the third stage of your property buying journey: the 'I'm ready to buy' stage. You have actively saved for your deposit, you've spoken with at least one lender but you haven't quite got your pre-approval yet. You may be visiting open homes and you may be daydreaming about potential properties you could buy as you continue to build on your deposit. You may even be wondering how much to spend on a property and realising that it may be costing more than you first thought it might. This is the stage when you may even start to get more strategic as you consider what you can afford. You're doing great, keep up those savings. In the meantime, did you know we have 30 ready-made questions that you can ask your lender? That's right, we've prepared questions so you can get on with having an informed discussion with your lender and getting your pre-approval. Would you like to access our 30 questions to help support your chat with your lender? *

I have made at least one offer on a property *

It looks like you are in the fourth stage of your property buying journey: the 'I'm actually ready' stage. You have actively saved for your deposit, you've spoken with at least one lender, you've got your pre-approval and you're ready to buy; the next step is finding the right property to make an offer on. You may be visiting open homes and you may be daydreaming about potential properties you could buy and you may even see property prices increasing the longer you wait to make an offer (or if you're lucky, prices are dropping). You may be getting more strategic as you consider what you can afford. You're doing great, keep it up. In the meantime, did you know we have a free masterclass on setting up your why for buying to help you get really strategic? This can help you take the emotion out of buying as you search for properties and it can help you get really focused on what you want out of a property. Would you like access to that Masterclass? *

My offer on a property has been successful *

It looks like you are in the fifth stage of your property buying journey: the 'I'm buying' stage. You have actively saved for your deposit, you've spoken with at least one lender, you've got your pre-approval, you're ready to buy and you've made at least one offer on a property. The next step is having your offer accepted. You may be visiting open homes and you may be daydreaming about potential properties you could buy and you may even see property prices increasing the longer your offers are not being accepted (or if you're lucky, prices are dropping). You may be getting outbid by other buyers and you may be getting more strategic and realistic as you consider what you can afford. You're doing great, keep it up. In the meantime, did you know we have a free masterclass on setting up your why for buying to help you get really strategic? This can help you take the emotion out of buying as you search for properties and it can help you get really focused on what you want out of a property. Would you like access to that masterclass now? *

I have reached settlement and I now own at least one property *

It looks like you are in the sixth stage of your property buying journey: the 'It's happening' stage. You have actively saved for your deposit, you've spoken with at least one lender, you've got your pre-approval, you've made at least one offer on a property that was accepted and you are waiting for settlement (or if something didn't go to plan with the property where your offer was accepted, you are looking to try again). You're doing great, keep it up. If you are waiting for settlement date, we have three top tips for what to look out for before reaching settlement. This can help you avoid common last-minute mistakes that can cause unnecessary stress right before settlement. Would you like access to our top settlement tips? *

I am ready to buy another property *
