What’s included when you work with us

When you’re buying property, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. We take care of every legal, financial, and administrative step so your purchase moves forward smoothly and stress-free.

Contract Review & Advice

Before you sign, we thoroughly review your Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor’s Statement to uncover any hidden risks, one-sided clauses, or missing details that could affect your purchase.

Title & Certificate Searches

We perform all necessary checks to confirm the property’s legal ownership, identify easements, restrictions, or covenants, and ensure there are no outstanding issues that could impact your use or enjoyment of the property.

Liaison & Coordination

Buying property involves multiple parties – agents, lenders, sellers, and conveyancers. We handle all communication and documentation between them to keep the process organised, transparent, and on schedule.

Transfer & Settlement Management

Once the contract is signed, we prepare and lodge all transfer documents, arrange payment of duties and fees, and manage the final settlement via the secure PEXA platform to ensure a smooth handover of ownership.

Conveyancing Process for Buyers

Stress-free path from signing to settlement

We start by listening. Every property transaction is unique, and we want to understand your goals, concerns and timelines. From there, we walk you through what to expect, from signing to settlement, so you feel informed and supported every step of the way.

Whether you’re buying or selling, we handle the heavy lifting. Our team digs into every contract clause and property detail to uncover conditions that might affect your rights or obligations. For buyers, you’ll receive a detailed Letter of Advice outlining any potential risks before you sign.

With decades of experience and specialist technical knowledge, our conveyancers quickly identify and resolve potential issues. Comprehensive document searches and risk checks ensure you get clear, accurate advice you can rely on.

Conveyancing involves multiple moving parts – from banks and brokers to agents and buyers/sellers. You’ll have a dedicated senior conveyancer who manages all communications and coordinates every detail, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Every step leads to this: a timely, stress-free settlement. By planning ahead, communicating proactively, and resolving issues early, we ensure your property settles exactly when it should, without surprises.
