What is conveyancing?

A licensed conveyancer handles these tasks to protect your interests and make the transaction seamless.

Why do I need conveyancer in Victoria?

You need a conveyancer in Victoria to ensure your property transaction is legally compliant and free from errors that could lead to costly disputes. They handle crucial tasks such as reviewing contracts, conducting property searches, and managing settlement processes, protecting your interests at every step. Their expertise simplifies the complex legalities, saving you time, stress, and potential financial risks.

What is the difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer?

The main difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer lies in the scope of their expertise:

Conveyancer: A conveyancer specializes exclusively in property transactions, such as buying, selling, or transferring real estate. They focus on the legal and administrative aspects of conveyancing and are typically more cost-effective for these services.
Solicitor: A solicitor has broader legal expertise, allowing them to handle conveyancing as well as other legal matters, such as disputes, family law, or estate planning. They may be necessary if your property transaction involves complex legal issues outside the standard scope of conveyancing.

Choosing between the two depends on your needs; a conveyancer is ideal for straightforward property transactions, while a solicitor is better suited for cases with additional legal complexities.

Do you handle both buying and selling transactions?

Yes, we offer comprehensive services for buyers, sellers, and property transfers between related parties. You can find details of our services at

What is a Section 32 (Vendor’s Statement)?

A Section 32, also known as a Vendor’s Statement, is a legal document required in Victoria that provides important information about a property being sold. It must be prepared by the seller and given to potential buyers before they sign the contract of sale.

The Section 32 includes details such as:

Title Information: Proof of the seller’s ownership and any restrictions on the title.
Zoning and Planning Details: Information about how the land can be used or developed.
Outgoings: Rates, taxes, and any other ongoing costs associated with the property.
Disclosures: Any issues like easements, covenants, or notices affecting the property.

This document helps buyers make informed decisions about the property and ensures transparency in the transaction process.

Why should I get the contract reviewed before signing?

You should always get the contract reviewed before signing. A professional conveyancer or solicitor can identify any unfavorable terms, hidden costs, or potential risks that could impact your rights or finances. Reviewing the contract ensures you fully understand your obligations and protects your interests in the transaction.

Do I need building and pest inspections when buying a house?

Yes, building and pest inspections are highly recommended when buying a house. These inspections help identify structural issues, potential safety hazards, and pest infestations that may not be visible during a standard property viewing. By uncovering any problems early, you can make an informed decision, negotiate repairs or price adjustments, or avoid costly surprises after purchase.

Should I sign the contract subject to any conditions?

Yes, signing a contract subject to specific conditions can protect your interests and provide flexibility during the property purchase process. Common conditions include:

Subject to Finance Approval: Ensures you can secure a loan before being legally bound to the purchase.
Subject to Building and Pest Inspection: Allows you to withdraw or renegotiate if significant issues are found during the inspection.
Subject to Sale of Your Current Property: Protects you if you need to sell your existing property to complete the purchase.

Including these conditions gives you the option to exit the agreement or renegotiate terms if the conditions are not met, reducing potential risks. Always consult a conveyancer before signing to ensure the conditions are appropriately worded and enforceable.

What documents are required to sell my property?

When selling a property in Victoria, the following documents are typically required:

Section 32 (Vendor’s Statement): This legal document must be provided to potential buyers and includes:

Title Details: Proof of ownership and any restrictions, such as easements or covenants.
Zoning Information: Land use and planning details.
Outgoings: Council rates, water rates, and other applicable fees.
Disclosures: Any known issues with the property, such as notices or building defects.

Contract of Sale: Prepared by your conveyancer or solicitor, it outlines the terms and conditions of the sale, including:

Sale price and deposit details.
Settlement date.
Inclusions (e.g., fixtures, fittings).
Special conditions (if any).

Proof of Identity: Valid ID (e.g., passport or driver’s license) to verify ownership.
Building Permits (if applicable): Any permits for renovations, extensions, or recent constructions.
Certificates of Compliance: For pool fencing, electrical, or plumbing work (if applicable).
Tenancy Agreements (if applicable): If the property is leased, details of the tenancy agreement and current tenants.

We will help gather and prepare these documents to ensure a smooth transaction.
