    13. Home Insurance +
    All lenders require you to have building insurance prior to settlement. Mortgage Empire Loan Expert will advise you the amount for which you will need to insure the property.
    Home insurance is not required, if you are only purchasing vacant land.

    14. Organise For Funds +
    You should organise for funds that you need to contribute at least 2-3 days prior to the settlement day. You should discuss with your solicitor or conveyancer about this.
    Generally, a day of the settlement, your solicitor or conveyancer will provide you with Settlement Advice Statement, which will outline the exact amount that you are required to contribute and method of payment like bank cheques or PEXA account deposit.
