Our buyer’s checklist is a guide to help you navigate the property purchase process with confidence.
Buying a property involves numerous steps, but we are here to make the process smooth and hassle-free. Below is a detailed look at how we can help you:
Nominating an additional or substitute purchaser involves designating a co-purchaser with the Contract purchaser or replacing the original purchaser in the contract, often due to changing circumstances or financing arrangements. This process requires the preparation and signing of the Nomination Form, ensuring all legal and financial obligations are appropriately addressed.
The preparation of the Transfer of Land document involves drafting a legal agreement that details the transfer of property ownership from the transferor to the transferee. This includes all necessary information about the land and the parties involved. The Notice of Acquisition is a formal notification to relevant authorities about the change in ownership, ensuring the transaction is recorded and compliant with local regulations.
Completing the Duties Online Form involves entering detailed information about the property transaction, including the transferor and transferee details, to calculate the stamp duty payable at Settlement. Once both parties have filled out their sections, the form is electronically signed and submitted for assessment.
We liaise with your bank or home loan provider to ensure readiness for settlement. This includes inviting the lender to the PEXA electronic settlement workspace, preparation of mortgage documents by the lender, and confirming that loan proceeds are available at settlement.
Preparing the Statement of Adjustments helps allocate outgoings between the buyer and seller. This involves conducting property information searches, which are part of your disbursement costs, including council rates, water rates, owners corporation certificates, and land tax (non-apportionable unless the property is sold for over $10,000,000). This ensures all outgoings are correctly apportioned at settlement.
A conveyancer trust account is a specialized bank account used by conveyancers to hold funds on behalf of their clients during property transactions. This ensures the funds are securely managed and used exclusively for intended purposes, such as deposits or settlement payments, providing transparency and protection for all parties involved.
Facilitating settlement electronically is now compulsory for almost all transfers of land in Victoria. PEXA (Property Exchange Australia) is the electronic platform used to handle the electronic lodgement and financial settlement of property transactions. This process ensures a more efficient, secure, and streamlined transfer of funds and documents between parties, reducing the risk of errors and delays compared to traditional paper-based methods.
