Settling the sale and the purchase together

Same-day, simultaneous, deposit bond. The three patterns for moving the money cleanly between two contracts in different states.

Two contracts, one bank account, one removalist, one school enrolment date, this is where the project plan matters.

Same-day vs simultaneous settlement

Same-day: morning settle on sale, afternoon settle on purchase. Simultaneous: both lock at PEXA at once. Deposit bond: avoids needing 10% cash for the new purchase deposit before sale settles.

WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the example given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees, or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate. Comparison rates are based on a secured loan of $30,000 over 5 years for vehicle finance and $50,000 over 5 years for equipment finance, as required under the National Credit Code.
