The BTPA Buyer Readiness Checklist

The BTPA Buyer Readiness Checklist

Before you can make an offer

At Beat The Property Agent™, we believe buyers should be just as prepared as sellers. Completing The BTPA Buyer Readiness Checklist gives sellers confidence that you’re serious, financially prepared and ready to move.

Only Buyer Ready members can submit offers through the platform.

 

✔ Step 1 – Learn the Process

I understand:

  • How the buying process works
  • The costs involved
  • My responsibilities as a buyer
  • The role of each property professional
  • The steps after my offer is accepted

 

✔ Step 2 – Choose a Mortgage Broker

☐ I have selected my own independent mortgage broker.

OR

☐ I am a cash buyer.

 

✔ Step 3 – Financial Pre-Qualification

☐ My mortgage broker has assessed my affordability.

☐ My deposit has been verified.

☐ My income has been assessed.

☐ My mortgage in principle (or equivalent) is in place.

Status: Finance Approved.

 

✔ Step 4 – Choose a Conveyancer

☐ I have selected my own conveyancer.

My conveyancer is ready to act immediately if my offer is accepted.

 

✔ Step 5 – Identity Verification

☐ My conveyancer has completed my identity verification.

☐ My anti-money laundering (AML) checks have been completed.

☐ My source of funds has been verified (where required).

Status: Buyer Verified.

 

✔ Step 6 – Ready to View Properties

I confirm:

☐ I understand my budget.

☐ I understand my monthly repayments.

☐ I know my preferred locations.

☐ I know my essential property requirements.

☐ I am ready to arrange viewings.

Status: Viewing Ready.

 

✔ Step 7 – Ready to Make an Offer

Before submitting an offer I confirm:

☐ My finances remain approved.

☐ My conveyancer is instructed.

☐ My identity has been verified.

☐ I understand an accepted offer creates expectations for both parties.

Status: Offer Ready.

 

Buyer Ready Status

Once all sections are complete you will be: Buyer Ready Verified.

This tells sellers that you have:

  • Been financially pre-qualified
  • Passed identity and AML verification
  • Chosen your conveyancer
  • Chosen your mortgage broker (or confirmed cash purchase)
  • Completed The BTPA Blueprint™
  • Are ready to proceed without unnecessary delays

 

Why This Matters

Most property sales are delayed because important steps happen after an offer is accepted.

At Beat The Property Agent™, we reverse that sequence.

By preparing buyers before offers are made, we aim to reduce uncertainty, minimise avoidable delays and give sellers greater confidence that an accepted offer comes from someone who is genuinely ready to proceed.

Buy a Floor Plan

To create your floor plan, simply upload a rough sketch of each floor of your property, including the room measurements.
Your sketch doesn't need to be perfect - just make sure the layout and measurements are clear. You can draw it by hand, take a photo of each sketch using your phone, and upload the images here.
