Buying property in Victoria is an exciting adventure. Therefore, this guide will help you navigate each step. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasoned investor, or searching for your dream home, this guide offers valuable insights to make the process easier.
Step 1: Work Out Your Property Goals
Before jumping into the property market, it’s important to get clear on your goals. For instance, consider the following questions:
- Are you buying to live in or as an investment?
- What’s your budget?
- What kind of property are you after (house, unit, or commercial)?
- Which areas suit your lifestyle or investment strategy?
Having clear goals means you’re better prepared to make the right decisions. At Quantum Buyers Agents, we’re experts at creating tailored strategies to match your unique needs.
Step 2: Sort Out Your Finances
Understanding what you can afford is a critical step. To begin with, start by:
- Assessing Your Budget: Factor in your deposit, borrowing capacity, and additional costs like stamp duty, legal fees, and inspections.
- Getting Pre-Approval: Lock in pre-approval from your lender to make the buying process easier and give you an edge when negotiating.
We can connect you with top-notch brokers to help secure the best loan for your situation.
Step 3: The Complete Guide to Researching Victoria’s Property Market
Victoria’s property market is diverse and constantly changing. As a result, doing your research ensures you’re making an informed choice. Consider the following factors:
- Recent sale prices in your desired area.
- Suburb growth potential, including upcoming infrastructure projects.
- Accessibility to key amenities like schools, public transport, and shops.

Step 4: Find the Right Property
Searching for the perfect property isn’t just about scrolling through online listings. In fact, did you know around 60% of properties are sold off-market? Therefore, by working with buyers agents like us, you’ll gain access to these exclusive opportunities. We’ll handle the hard yards of sourcing properties that tick all your boxes.
Step 5: Do Your Due Diligence
Proper checks and research are essential to avoid nasty surprises down the track. For this reason, make sure you:
- Organise Building and Pest Inspections: Check for structural issues or pests.
- Review the Contract of Sale: Understand the terms and obligations.
- Assess Buildability: If you’re an investor, knowing potential renovation costs upfront is a game-changer.
Quantum Buyers Agents’ partnership with Quantum Building Maintenance (QBM Projects) ensures you get detailed buildability reports for full transparency.
Step 6: Negotiate Like a Pro
Whether it’s a private sale or an auction, good negotiation can save you heaps. As a result, our agents are experts at assessing seller motivations, crafting strong offers, and representing you at auctions to get the best deal.
Step 7: Settlement Guide—Final Preparations Before Property Ownership
Once you’ve secured the property, there are a few final steps before it’s officially yours. These steps include:
- Liaising with your solicitor and lender.
- Doing a final pre-settlement inspection.
- Organising insurance and property management if needed.
We’ll keep everything running smoothly by ensuring seamless communication between all parties.
Step 8: Celebrate Your New Property!
