Step by step thru your property purchase

1. Before the contract signing	The contract needs to be examined so it is understood. Our staff will clarify and answer any questions you may have and negotiate changes based on your instructions.
2. Signing the contract	After all terms are agreed, the contract is usually signed first by the buyer who pays the deposit at that time. If the contract is subject to building inspection and/or a pest report, the reports received will be discussed with you to determine whether or not any claim is intended against the opposite party based on those results.

3. After signing the contract	After finance has been approved or earlier if there is a tight settlement schedule, investigations into potential pitfalls or adverse interests relating to the property are begun. During the investigation period (usually 2-3 weeks), we confirm the title and ensure that no government department that you have requested we search, has a claim over the property. We will also determine what are the charges e.g. rates that must be apportioned as between the buyer and seller at settlement. All investigation outcomes are discussed with you so that you can decide whether or not you are entirely satisfied or alternatively whether or not there is an avenue of compensation available in respect of any adverse interest discovered that warrants same. A Transfer will be prepared for signing by the Seller and if necessary, submitted for payment of stamp duty before settlement. Show more Show less
4. Preparing for settlement	Stamp duty must be paid by the buyer prior to settlement to allow the Transfer to be “stamped”. Stamp duty is based on the price paid and is subject to concessions for owner-occupiers ( as opposed to an investment property or commercial property buyers). Settlement adjustments must be calculated and agreed with the opposite party in the transaction. We must coordinate a mutually convenient time for settlement with the opposite party and with your financier. You must also produce the additional funds required for settlement (and stamp duty etc) so we and your bank can provide clear funds by bank cheque to the Seller to ensure settlement effected. To schedule a final inspection of the property on the morning or the day prior for payment, call the seller or the real estate agent. This helps to ensure that the property is in the same condition as when you inspected the property at contract time and all agreed fixtures and fittings remain on the property. Show more Show less
5. Settlement time!	Now is the day you’re going to own your new house. Once we have last looked for the new property, we must settle the property and make sure that the right title and sale papers are provided. Then we send the seller’s lawyer the remainder of the value of the property money When we return to our office, we will contact you and remind you that the settlement has occurred. You can then gather the agent’s keys and start moving! Show more Show less

Conveyancing for sellers – what’s involved?

If the property is mortgaged, you should immediately provide your bank with a completed mortgage discharge form. These can usually be obtained online or alternatively you can attend a branch to arrange for the release of the mortgage.

Conveyancing for off-the-plan – what’s involved?

If you are buying a unit in a building that is under construction, there is no existing title or survey plan relating to the lot you are buying. For that reason, there are copious compliance issues and additional documentation to precisely describe the property itself and all the legal arrangements that will apply to the body corporate.
