Selling Property FAQs

When Should I Contact a Conveyancer When Selling My Property

​​​​​​​

Ideally, you should contact a conveyancer before your property is advertised for sale.  The Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement need to be prepared before a purchaser signs the Contract of Sale.

What Happens After a Purchaser Signs the

Contract of Sale

Once the Contract of Sale has been signed by all parties, the agreement becomes legally binding and important timeframes begin. We manage the conveyancing process, including attending to required documentation, liaising

with relevant parties and preparing for settlement.

What Happens to My Mortgage at Settlement​​

​​

If there is an existing mortgage on the property, arrangements will need to be made with your lender to discharge the mortgage at settlement.  We liaise with your lender as part of the settlement process.

What Happens on Settlement Day​​

Settlement is completed electronically through PEXA.  Once settlement occurs, the sale proceeds are distributed according to your instructions.
