Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is conveyancing?

A: Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring the title of a property or a business from one person to another.

Q: Why should I use a conveyancer?

A: Buying or selling property is one of the biggest financial transactions of your life. Due to the financial and legal aspects of transferring property, the consequences of making a mistake can be both costly and heartbreaking. By having a licensed conveyancer take care of your property transfer, their qualifications and experience can help protect your assets.

Q: What is a disbursement?

A: A disbursement is one of the expenses incurred during the process of searching and obtaining a certificate from local government authorities or local councils etc.

Q: What happens if either party cannot settle on the due date?

A: If the purchaser or vendor cannot settle on the due date, there are legal consequences. The purchaser can issue a 'Notice to Complete', giving the vendor 14 days to settle the matter. If the vendor fails to do so, the purchaser can terminate the contract and is eligible to receive their deposit back. The purchaser may also apply to the Court to have the vendor complete the agreement and hand over possession. If stipulated in the contract, the vendor is entitled to charge the purchaser interest for the number of days settlement is delayed.

Q: What happens at settlement time?

A: Settlement is the finalisation of the sale or purchase process. On settlement, the purchaser's bank will exchange cheques as per the instructions of the buyer's conveyancer and in return, receive the Certificate of Title and 'discharge of mortgage' (if applicable) from the seller's bank. Once settlement is complete, the keys can be handed over to the purchaser and the deposit is released (from trust) to the seller.

Q: Who notifies the authorities that I have purchased a property?

A: When your transfer papers are lodged for registration after settlement, the council, water authority and office of the valuer general are automatically notified of the new purchase.
