CONVEYANCING
Purchasing and Selling Property
We are trusted experts in property conveyancing. We offer a set fee structure and dedicated property conveyancing specialists to work on your matter.
Our set fee for conveyancing sales and purchases is $990 + up to $660 disbursements (third party searches) inc GST.
Disbursements are out-of-pocket expenses your conveyancer pays on your behalf to third-party service providers during the property transfer process. These costs cover things like property searches, land registry fees, local authority searches, and obtaining necessary certificates. Essentially, they’re the extra charges incurred beyond the conveyancer’s standard fees.
Selling Real Estate
House | Vacant Land | Unit | Commercial Building & Car parks/Storage
When you sell a property ‘The Sale of Land Act’ requires the seller to provide what is known as a Section 32 Vendor’s Statement. Often called a ‘Section 32’ by the agents.
We recommend engaging a conveyancer prior to listing your home with an agent so the Vendor Statement is available at the first open for inspection and can be provided to any prospective buyers.
Certificates May be needed in order to complete your Section 32
We will ask you for copies of the documentation that we will need, if applicable, to complete your Contract & Section 32. We will order certificated required to complete.
Construction and Building Permits (if applicable)
Anything done with a building permit in the last 7 years has to go in the contract. If any building permits or notices of any type have been issued about the property you are selling, we will need a copy of them.
Owners Corporation (used to be called Body Corporate)
When selling a unit or even a house or vacant land, sometimes the property & or the estate it’s in, has an owner’s corporation applicable to it. If, this is the case with your property, we will need to get an owners corporation certificate to complete your section 32.
Tenants
If the property has been tenanted or leased in any form or fashion you will need to advise us.
GST
If you are selling a commercial property, Goods and Service Tax (GST) might apply, we recommend checking with your accountant.
Buying Real Estate
Our expert team take care of all the property conveyancing work. We will review your contract before you sign to ensure there are no concerns you should be aware of.
We ensure that all the appropriate paperwork is collected and completed correctly.
Closer to settlement we calculate adjustments to council rates to make sure that money owing by the vendor (seller), including arrears and interest, is deducted from the price of the property.
We will obtain a search to confirm the title annexed to the Vendor’s Statement is correct.
Before we start our property conveyancing services, our team provide you with a set fee structure.
