Conveyancing in Melbourne.

Victorian property law is its own system. Contracts of Sale, Section 32 Vendor Statements, owners corporation records, planning overlays and PEXA settlements all work differently here to anywhere else in Australia.

Find your suburb below. Each page covers what actually affects a transaction in that area — the council and water corporation that drive your settlement adjustments, the housing stock, and the title and planning issues that turn up again and again.

Check it yourself

Links to government and third-party sites. We do not control what they publish, and the planning certificate and Section 32 for the specific property remain the source of truth.

How it works in 3 steps

Step 1

Upload your contract

Upload your contract, add a few details and you’re done. No appointment to book, no credit card and no obligation.

Step 2

Same business day review

In before 2pm, back before you need it.

We’ll send you a free legal review to help you understand what matters, what to watch for and what to do next.

Step 3

Your call

Walk away, or have us run the matter through to PEXA settlement for $1,600 incl. GST fixed.

Either is fine with us.

Before you sign

In Victoria you get three clear business days to cool off, and none at all if you buy at auction.

That is the whole window. A contract read after settlement is a bill, not advice. If the property is going to auction, the review has to happen before you raise your hand, and it costs you nothing to have it done. There is no reason to be the person who finds out afterwards.

What we handle

Contract of Sale reviews

Before you sign anything, we review the Contract of Sale and explain the terms, special conditions and risks that could affect your purchase.

Section 32 Vendor Statement reviews

The Section 32 carries the planning controls, easements, owners corporation details and outgoings. We explain what it means and flag anything that deserves a closer look.

Property conveyancing

Buying or selling, we manage the legal transfer of ownership, prepare the documents and coordinate every party through to settlement.

Settlement and statement of adjustments

We prepare and check settlement figures, including council rates, water rates, owners corporation fees and other adjustments, so nothing is wrong on the day.

Electronic settlement through PEXA

Most Victorian settlements now happen electronically. We run the whole process securely and keep you informed at each step.

Owners corporation due diligence

Buying an apartment, townhouse or unit means buying into an owners corporation. We review the records, financial statements, rules, maintenance obligations and any known issues.

Easements, covenants and title restrictions

We explain everything affecting the title, including easements, restrictive covenants, caveats, mortgages, section 173 agreements and other registered interests that could limit what you do with the property.

Stamp duty and Duties Online

We calculate your duty, prepare the documents and lodge everything through Victoria's Duties Online system.

Victorian property law advice

Victoria has its own legislation and its own processes. Our team works exclusively in Victorian property law, so you get advice from people who do this every day.

Special conditions and contract drafting

Not every Contract of Sale is standard. We review and draft special conditions so they protect your interests and match what was actually agreed.

Cooling-off rights

Where cooling-off applies, we explain the rights, the deadlines and the exceptions before you commit.

Vacant possession and tenanted properties

Buying an investment property, or expecting the place empty on settlement day? We explain your rights and obligations, including leases, notice requirements and settlement conditions.

GST and GST withholding

New homes and some other transactions trigger GST withholding. We explain the obligation and make sure the right amount is paid.

Foreign resident capital gains withholding

Where FRCGW applies, we handle the requirements and the documentation needed for settlement.

Deposits and deposit bonds

We advise on deposit requirements, deposit bonds, guarantees and how deposits are held through the transaction.

Early occupation and licence agreements

If a buyer wants to move in before settlement, or a seller needs to stay on after it, we prepare licence agreements that set out exactly what each side can do.

SMSF property purchases

Buying through a Self-Managed Super Fund adds legal and compliance requirements. We work alongside your accountant and adviser to keep the transaction on track.

Why Prepared

Anyone can offer a free review. What matters is what comes back, and who wrote it.

 

Speed

Same-day contract reviews. While others wait on a callback, you are at the next inspection ready to offer.

Expertise

Your contract is reviewed by experienced Australian property lawyers who understand the local property market. In Albert Park that means environmental audit conditions, heritage controls and multi-tier owners corporations, not a generic checklist.

Fixed fee

One price for the conveyancing, published before you commit. No hourly billing, no surprises on the invoice, and no charge at all for the review that got you there.

What it costs

Nothing to have it read. One price if you go ahead.

Most conveyancers charge for a review, or ask you to request a quote before they will tell you anything at all. Here is the whole thing, so you can compare without making a phone call.

Free

Contract and Section 32 review

No charge, no obligation, no limit on how many properties. Back the same business day.

$1,600

Full conveyancing, buying

Incl. GST, fixed. Contract through to PEXA settlement, adjustments and duty lodgement.

$300

Selling, and it does not sell

Professional fees only, plus the cost of any searches already ordered. You are not billed for a settlement that never happened.

Government charges, searches and land transfer duty are payable in addition and are set by the State, not by us. We tell you the total before you instruct.
