Property Buy and Sell
Buying a Property – Our Process
Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, and the legal process can feel confusing and overwhelming. Our role is to take that pressure off you by managing every legal step of the transaction and making sure your interests are fully protected.
From the moment you send us a contract to the day you receive your keys, we guide you through the entire process and keep you informed at every stage.
Step 1 – Contract Review & Advice
We carefully review the contract of sale and Section 32 (Vendor Statement), explain all key terms in plain language, and highlight any risks, unusual conditions or missing information before you sign.
Our goal is to make sure you understand exactly what you are buying and what you are agreeing to.
Step 2 – Signing & Legal Safeguards
We assist with contract signing and advise you on cooling-off rights, deposit requirements and important timeframes.
If changes are needed, we negotiate amendments with the other side to better protect your position.
Step 3 – Finance & Conditions Management
We liaise with your bank or broker and monitor finance approval and any special conditions in the contract.
We track deadlines and ensure conditions are satisfied on time so your contract does not fall through or expose you to penalties.
Step 4 – Pre-Settlement Preparation
We prepare all required legal documents, calculate adjustments for council rates, water and owners corporation fees, and arrange your final inspection.
We also resolve any last-minute issues that arise before settlement.
Step 5 – Settlement & Ownership
We coordinate settlement with the vendor’s representative, your lender and the agent to ensure funds and documents are exchanged correctly.
Once settlement is complete, the property is legally transferred into your name.
Selling a Property – Our Process
Selling your property comes with strict legal obligations and deadlines. A mistake or delay can cost you time and money.
We manage the entire conveyancing process on your behalf so you can sell with confidence.
Step 1 – Preparing Your Property for Sale
We prepare or review your contract of sale and Vendor Statement (Section 32) before your property is advertised, ensuring all required disclosures are correct and complete.
Step 2 – Managing the Buyer’s Legal Enquiries
We handle all legal enquiries and contract amendment requests from the buyer’s conveyancer or solicitor, protecting your position and keeping the sale moving forward.
Step 3 – Contract Finalisation
Once a buyer is secured, we finalise contract signing and confirm key dates, including settlement and any special conditions.
Step 4 – Pre-Settlement Work
We prepare transfer documents, calculate rate adjustments and liaise with your bank to arrange discharge of your mortgage.
We also ensure all figures are checked and correct before settlement.
Step 5 – Settlement & Distribution of Funds
We attend to settlement and ensure the sale proceeds are received and distributed correctly.
