Conveyancing (purchase and sale of real estate)

We have a team of four experienced conveyancing clerks and two partners with about 70 years’ experience between them to ensure your conveyancing needs are met efficiently, expertly and at an affordable cost.

Our services include review and advice of the contract of sale and vendors statement before exchange of contracts. This is the best time to obtain advice to ensure the contract does not contain any unexpected “nasties” such as a title defect, a claim by a neighbour, a planning issue, an expensive levy from an owners corporation, builders warranty insurance issues or any number of other potential problems. GST ramifications always need to be considered and care is required to ensure protection under any finance condition.

Once the contract is signed our professional staff ensure all of the steps in the process would be concluded very thoroughly, avoiding shortcuts to ensure a satisfactory outcome.We would prepare the necessary transfer and State Revenue Office documentation and then liaise with the finance source to arrange settlement.The actual settlement is sometimes a very important stage in this process and when other parties default the skills and experience of the solicitors can be critical to ensure interests are protected.The way conveyancing is processed in Victoria is such that it is really when things go wrong that is when good representation is required.

We pride ourselves on anticipating problems and doing everything possible to ensure these most important transactions proceed smoothly.Ours is not a “sausage mill” process. Clients will receive individual care and attention commensurate with the importance of what is often the most important financial transaction they will ever enter into.
