Frequently Asked Questions

What is conveyancing when selling a property?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from you to the buyer, including preparing sale documents and managing settlement.

Ideally, you should engage us before you sign a listing agreement with a real estate agent or accept any offer. We’re here to help and can expertly advise you throughout the process.

You’ll need the Certificate of Title, Land Information Memorandum (LIM), Sale and Purchase Agreement, and any disclosures required by law.

It’s a legally binding contract that outlines the terms of the property sale including price, conditions, and settlement date. Conditions are requirements that must be met before the sale becomes unconditional, like finance approval, building inspection, or sale of the buyer’s property. The sale becomes unconditional when all conditions in the Sale and Purchase Agreement have been satisfied or waived.

Yes, your mortgage must be repaid in full at settlement but don’t worry, as your conveyancer, we will coordinate this with your bank.

Once a contract is signed, the process usually takes 4–6 weeks until settlement, depending on the terms agreed. On the settlement date, it will depend on the banks that are lending the money, and other lawyers (if any) involved. Every property sale is different, so it will depend on the situation, but we do our best to get settlement through at a reasonable time (usually by midday).

Yes, we act in your best interests and can help resolve any disputes or delays, ensuring you are protected throughout the process. We work diligently to address issues through negotiation, legal solutions, or, in extreme cases, advising you on alternative actions. Our goal is to secure the best outcome for you.

This is it in a nutshell:

  1. Contact us as soon as your property is listed
  2. Complete our online forms for AML
  3. When an offer comes in on your property, get us to review the agreement and check over the dates and details. This is important to ensure you are protected.
  4. Sit tight, hold your breath, and wait for the sale and purchase agreement to go unconditional, which happens when all the conditions are met.
