WHAT WE DO
Many South Yarra vendor statements run to dozens of pages once owners corporation certificates, planning overlays and building permits are attached. We review every page so you know exactly what you are buying in South Yarra.
A Section 32 Vendor Statement is one of the most important documents you will receive when buying property in South Yarra. It contains the title details, planning overlays, outgoings, building permits, encumbrances and owners corporation information the seller is required to disclose. Understanding what is disclosed, and what may be missing, can save you from expensive surprises after settlement.
Our lawyers read every page of the statement and its attachments, compare it against the contract and explain what it means for you in plain English. If something is incomplete, inconsistent or concerning, we tell you what it could cost and how to deal with it before you sign or bid.

Red Flags in a South Yarra Section 32
Some issues are common in inner South Yarra. Heritage overlays can restrict renovations, easements can limit where you build, and a covenant may stop you from subdividing. Owners corporation certificates can reveal special levies, building defect claims or disputes that will become your responsibility. Building permit history can show whether extensions and decks were properly approved.
Missing disclosures matter too. Under the Sale of Land Act, a buyer may be able to end the contract before settlement if the vendor statement is not provided or is materially incorrect. We identify these issues early so you keep your options open.
Local Section 32 Review Lawyers for South Yarra 3141
South Yarra is just minutes from our office at 470 St Kilda Road, so we are well placed to act for buyers and sellers across the suburb, from the apartment towers around Chapel Street, Toorak Road and Forrest Hill to the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the quieter streets near the Botanic Gardens and Como Park.
Because the suburb sits across two councils, the City of Stonnington and the City of Melbourne, planning controls and rates can differ from one side of Punt Road to the other. Many South Yarra properties are part of an owners corporation, so we pay close attention to levies, building defect disputes and management arrangements. We also regularly act for clients in nearby Prahran, Toorak, Windsor and Melbourne 3004.
Section 32 Review South Yarra FAQs
It is the vendor statement required by section 32 of the Sale of Land Act 1962 in Victoria. The seller must give it to the buyer before the buyer signs the contract, and it discloses key legal and planning information about the property.
The statement is often long and technical. A lawyer can spot issues such as restrictive covenants, planning overlays, unpermitted works or owners corporation problems, and explain how they affect your use and value of the property.
If required information is missing or incorrect, you may have a right to end the contract before settlement. The rules are technical and there are time limits, so seek advice as soon as possible.
Most reviews can be turned around within one to two business days, and faster for urgent auction deadlines in South Yarra.
No. The vendor statement discloses legal and planning information, not the physical condition of the property. We recommend a separate building and pest inspection before you commit.
