The news that the 2026 Commonwealth Games will be held in multiple locations across regional Victoria was announced by Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, and Commonwealth Games Federation president, Dame Louise Martin, on Monday, 11 April 2022.

The last time Australia hosted the games was in 2018, when the Gold Coast was the hub for the high-profile international competition.

With the decision to host 2026 events in Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong and Gippsland, the design and construction of new infrastructure developments, including unique athletes’ villages in each key location, will get underway.

Property search fatigue and how to combat it

Property search fatigue is real, and it can happen as a result of weeks, and sometimes months, of researching properties and negotiating with real estate agents without achieving a result.

It can also happen after investing time and emotion attending numerous open inspection appointments, or auctions only to be outbid – again and again! Reference: https://www.conveyancing.com.au/articles/property-search-fatigue

Celebrating your property sale

When you first bought your property, you probably celebrated in style. Now it’s time to mark another amazing event in your adult life – the successful sale of your property.

Acknowledging the effort involved in putting your house on the market is a meaningful way to mark the significance of selling your property – and whether you celebrate the sale result alone or involve friends and family who might have helped you throughout your property journey, it’s a milestone that shouldn’t be ignored.

Seller’s remorse – what it is and how to handle it

Picture this: You’ve sold your property. You might have even celebrated that sale. But then…the doubts creep in.

You begin scouring real estate sites online, wondering if you’ve made the right decision to leave your neighbourhood. You start looking too closely at potential new homes and convince yourself that your old place was probably better.

Or perhaps you’ve been listening to your friends, or your accountant (or even your barista) share their thoughts that the BIG property boom is just around the corner.

Whatever the reason, there is one inevitable conclusion: you’ve changed your mind. You’ve got seller’s remorse! Reference: https://www.conveyancing.com.au/articles/sellers-remorse

Your rights as a seller – know what they are

Selling any property can be a busy time, but when you’re preparing to make way for new owners, it’s important to understand what your rights are and what you can and can’t take with you on settlement, how your conveyancer can help you handle contract negotiations, and what to do if the sale falls through.

What happens to your mortgage after you sell your property?

Most Australians who sell their home don’t own their property outright. So, understanding what happens to your loan when you sell is knowledge worth having. Reference: https://www.conveyancing.com.au/articles/what-happens-to-your-mortgage-after-you-sell-your-property

What happens to your mortgage after you sell your property?

https://www.conveyancing.com.au/articles/what-happens-to-your-mortgage-after-you-sell-your-property

Most Australians who sell their home don’t own their property outright. So, understanding what happens to your loan when you sell is knowledge worth having.

How your mortgage works

When you first took out your home loan, your chosen lender places a mortgage on the property you bought.

That mortgage shows up on the property title because, as the lender, they have a legal interest in that property. Holding the mortgage means that, if you don’t meet your repayments and default on the loan, they can pursue legal avenues to recover their money, and that may include selling your property.

If you sell the property while it still has an active mortgage, the lender obviously loses their right to sell it. To protect themselves from this eventuality, you must settle the full amount of your mortgage – called a discharge of mortgage – on the settlement day with the incoming buyer.

Things to expect during your settlement period 

Selling a house successfully is a wonderful achievement – and definitely something worth celebrating. Before you pop that champagne cork though, it’s wise to familiarise yourself with what you may face during the settlement period.

Selling a house successfully is a wonderful achievement – and definitely something worth celebrating. Before you pop that champagne cork though, it’s wise to familiarise yourself with what you may face during the settlement period.

The time leading up to settlement comes with a lot of expectations – and sometimes, some stress – on both sides of the selling/buying fence. For your incoming buyer, they want their hands on that all-important set of house-keys. As the seller, your focus is different – you want the evidence that the final payment on your property has gone through to prove the property sale deal is done.

You’ve sold your house, now what?

Selling your property is something to celebrate but, once the ‘sold’ sticker has been plastered over the ‘for sale’ sign in your front lawn and the champagne bottle is in the recycling bin, what else happens next?

The reality is that the time immediately after the sale price is agreed on and the contract is signed is when the real business of selling your home begins – the legal side of finalising the property sale.
