Conveyancing

Buying or selling property can often be the most important and stressful transaction of a person’s life. Our role is to provide you with a steady hand to guide you through the process.

Sale

Once you have engaged with a real estate agent to market your property, you will require a Vendor Statement (s. 32 Statement) and a Contract of Sale of Real Estate to be prepared. The Contract of Sale is the most important document in the conveyancing process, as it records the terms of your agreement with the purchaser of your property. We can prepare the Contract of Sale, including a Vendor Statement, to create a legally binding agreement between you and the Purchaser.

Once the Contract has been signed, the conveyancing process involves a series of steps to implement the agreement of the contracting parties so that the Vendor is paid the purchase price and the Purchaser becomes the owner of the property. Sometimes this process is smooth, sometimes it is bumpy. We take whatever steps are necessary to smooth the bumps and make sure that the process leads to a satisfactory outcome.

Purchase

A Purchaser will be asked to sign a Contract of Sale, including the Vendor Statement. Once the Purchaser has signed the Contract, the Purchaser is legally bound to proceed with the transaction. It is therefore absolutely essential that the Purchaser obtains quality legal advice in relation to the Contract and the obligations arising from the Contract, at the earliest possible time, preferably before signing the Contract but certainly immediately after signing the Contract.

Just as when we are acting for the Vendor, the conveyancing process involves a series of steps to implement the agreement of the contracting parties so that the Vendor is paid the purchase price and the Purchaser becomes the owner of the property. Sometimes this process is smooth, sometimes it is bumpy. We take whatever steps are necessary to smooth the bumps and make sure that the process leads to a satisfactory outcome.

Settlements

With the introduction of Property Exchange Australia (PEXA), almost all property settlements are now conducted electronically and do not require you to be physically present. After we have verified your identity and obtained a Client Authority from you, we are able to sign most documents required in the settlement process and will provide you with links to other necessary documents.
