Selling your property can incur costs such as the real estate agent's commission and legal fees when using a solicitor. Other costs to be taken into account are advertising and marketing costs, a valuation report, pest and building inspection reports, as well as financial fees.


»  a checklist may include ...
  • Agents Commission.
    Typically, agents commission ranges from 3 to 5% plus GST.
  • Advertising & Marketing Costs.
    Real estate agents will charge the seller fees for advertising and marketing your property in order to achieve for you the highest possible price. This can involve advertising your property in local newspapers, on property websites, or dedicated property magazines. GST is payable by the seller on these items and included in the advertising account.

    Advertising and marketing is particularly essential if you decide to auction your property - the more people who are aware of the auction date, the more likely it is you will achieve a high turnout on the day and consequently sell your property at the best price.
  • Legal Costs.
    Solicitor's fees are negotiable - it is advisable to compare the fees being charges by a few different solicitors. Good referrals and past experience is valuable when choosing your legal representative.
  • Financial institution fees.
    As the seller of property your bank or financial institution may charge you for their attendance at the Settlement to receive and discharge the mortgage. Fees vary between institutions.
  • Valuation report.
     In some cases the seller may wish to procure a valuation of their property to give to potential buyers.
  • Inspections and other miscellaneous items which can include preparing the property for sale through garden and painting service providers and other attendant costs of making the property look its best for potential buyers.
