Before you buy a home

Before you begin the process of buying a home, it not only makes sense to look around at a range of properties, it is also important that you prepare yourself well by exploring and understanding your financial options as well as your legal rights and responsibilities.

By law, a residential property cannot be put on the market until a sale contract has been drawn up. You have the right to examine the contract at any time during the buying process, even before you make an offer.
