FAQs
What does Arete Property do after they purchase my ‘As Is’ house?
We repair all of our properties to a very high standard. Some properties are held as rentals, some are sold on the open market depending on suitability for sale or rental.
Will you make me a cash unconditional offer?
Others may offer cash unconditional but because we repair thoroughly we have to engage an engineer to qualify we can repair the dwelling. This translates to a 10-20 day due diligence clause which often equates to a better price for you as we can confirm that our repair methodology is viable.
How long will it take for someone to come and view my property and make me an offer?
We can usually get to your property within 24 hours and turn an offer around in 24-48 hours depending on the property, some are harder than others!
If I choose a long settlement but then find a house I really want to buy, can you bring settlement forward?
Yes. We are very flexible with settlement dates and we often add ‘or earlier by mutual agreement’ to all contracts, giving you plenty of time to find a new property.
