Conveyancing & Real Estate
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property or land from one person to another. It involves several steps to ensure that the buyer receives the property without any legal issues and that all conditions of the sale are met.
We understand that purchasing or selling a property can be stressful and aim to guide our clients in navigating this process.
With over 20 years of experience, we offer efficient and reliable conveyancing services for buying or selling property throughout Victoria and our clients range from first-time home buyers and investors to property developers.
Conveyancing typically includes:
- Preparing and Reviewing Contracts: Drafting and examining the sale contract to make sure it covers all important details, such as the property’s condition, price, and settlement date before you sign.
- Conducting Searches: Performing searches on the property to check for any legal restrictions, unpaid debts, or issues like boundary disputes, zoning restrictions, or environmental concerns.
- Arranging for Financial Settlement: Coordinating with the buyer’s and seller’s banks to manage the transfer of funds, including any mortgage arrangements or outstanding loans on the property.
- Finalizing the Transfer of Ownership: Preparing and lodging the necessary legal documents with the relevant government authority to officially transfer the property’s title to the new owner. Advising rating authorities such as council and water of the change of ownership.
- Completing Settlement: Ensuring that all payments are made, documents are signed, and keys are handed over, completing the transaction.
Conveyancing is crucial because it helps protect both the buyer and the seller from potential legal problems, ensuring that the property transfer is smooth, valid, and binding.
