Why Use a Law Firm for Conveyancing in Melbourne?
Conveyancing in Victoria is governed by the Sale of Land Act 1962 and the Transfer of Land Act 1958, and most settlements now happen electronically through PEXA. A licensed conveyancer can complete the paperwork, but when a contract contains unusual special conditions, a defective Section 32, a disputed boundary or a family law issue, you need legal advice. Because we are a law firm, we can give that advice straight away without referring you elsewhere.
Our office on St Kilda Road puts us close to the CBD, South Yarra, St Kilda and South Melbourne, so we understand the mix of apartments, period homes and investment properties that make up the inner Melbourne market. We work to your auction dates and settlement deadlines and keep you updated so you always know what happens next.
Conveyancing Melbourne FAQs
A conveyancing lawyer manages the legal transfer of property from seller to buyer. That includes reviewing or preparing the contract of sale and Section 32 statement, conducting searches, calculating rates and tax adjustments, liaising with lenders and the other party, and completing settlement and registration of the transfer.
Ideally before you sign anything. If you are buying, send us the contract and Section 32 before you make an offer or bid at auction. If you are selling, engage us before your property is listed so the vendor statement and contract are ready for the agent.
Most residential settlements in Victoria occur 30 to 90 days after the contract is signed, depending on what the parties agree. Off the plan purchases can take much longer. We work to your settlement date and let you know early if anything could cause a delay.
In many private sales a buyer has three clear business days to cool off, with a small termination fee payable. Cooling off does not apply to auction sales or to sales made within three business days before or after a publicly advertised auction, which is why a review before signing is important.
Yes. Almost all Victorian property settlements are now completed electronically through PEXA. We manage the workspace, confirm figures with your lender and the other side, and let you know as soon as settlement is complete.
