Vendor Process

Conveyancing is the legal process undertaken in property transactions. As the Vendor (Seller) we prepare all the documentation required for the property transaction and represent the vendor during the entire process.

Our service includes:

• Preparing or Reviewing the contract of sale:
• Preparing the Contract of Sale includes customising the Contract of Sale to your specific Property, type of Sale, inclusions and any special conditions to protect your interest in the property.

We review the sale contract and communicate the terms and conditions to the purchaser. This includes references to the zoning of the property; utility connections; any special conditions, including deadlines; purchase price and settlement date; deposit and payment date; matters relating to title (references to covenants, restrictions, easements and the like); and Owners Corporation matters.

Applying for a full set of certificates

The Section 32 statement must be provided to the buyer before the sale and contains information about the property’s title, including mortgages, covenants, easements and zoning. The certificates provide information such as the latest owners corporation fees, a Water Information Statement, disclosures about any unregistered easements, indications from the relevant road authority showing whether the property has been acquired for road widening, building information regarding works undertaken during the previous 10 years, as well as reference to final inspections, outstanding orders and flood levels.
