It’s conveyancing that moves as fast as the market and as fair as it should be.

Conveyancing & Property Lawyers in Melbourne

Whether you're buying, selling or investing in Melbourne, our experienced Victorian conveyancers and property lawyers help you navigate every stage of your property transaction. From reviewing Contracts of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statements through to settlement, we're here to make the legal process clear, straightforward and stress-free.

 

How we help in Melbourne


Contract of Sale Reviews -
Before you sign anything, we'll review the Contract of Sale and explain the important legal terms, special conditions, and risks that could affect your purchase.

Section 32 (Vendor Statement) Reviews - The Section 32 contains important information about a property, including planning controls, easements, owners corporation details and outgoings. We'll explain what it means and highlight anything that deserves closer attention.

Property Conveyancing - Whether you're buying or selling property in Melbourne, we manage the legal transfer of ownership, prepare the required documents and coordinate with all parties through to settlement.

Victorian Property Law Advice - Property transactions in Victoria involve unique legislation and processes. Our team works exclusively with Victorian property law, helping buyers and sellers understand their rights and obligations.

Settlement & Statement of Adjustments - We prepare and review settlement figures, including council rates, water rates, owners corporation fees and other adjustments, ensuring everything is accurate before settlement.

Electronic Settlement (PEXA) - Most Victorian settlements now occur electronically through PEXA. We coordinate the entire settlement process securely and efficiently.

Owners Corporation (Body Corporate) - If you're purchasing an apartment, townhouse or unit, we'll review Owners Corporation records, financial statements, rules, maintenance obligations and any known issues.

Easements, Covenants & Title Restrictions - We'll explain anything affecting the property's title, including easements, restrictive covenants, caveats, mortgages, section 173 agreements and other registered interests that may impact future use.

Special Conditions & Contract Drafting - Not all Contracts of Sale are standard. We review and draft special conditions, ensuring they accurately protect your interests and reflect the agreed terms.

Cooling-Off Rights - Where applicable, we'll explain your cooling-off rights, important deadlines and any exceptions before you commit to purchasing.

Vacant Possession & Tenanted Properties - Buying an investment property or expecting vacant possession? We'll explain your rights and obligations, including lease agreements, notice requirements and settlement conditions.

Stamp Duty & Duties Online - We calculate your duty obligations, prepare the required documents and lodge everything through Victoria's Duties Online system.

GST & GST Withholding - For new homes and some property transactions, GST withholding rules may apply. We'll explain your obligations and ensure the correct amounts are paid.

Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding (FRCGW) - Where applicable, we'll assist with Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding requirements and the documentation needed for settlement.

Deposits & Deposit Bonds - We can advise on deposit requirements, deposit bonds, guarantees and how deposits are managed throughout the transaction.

Early Occupation & Licence Agreements - If a buyer wishes to move in before settlement or a seller remains after settlement, we can prepare licence agreements that clearly define everyone's rights and responsibilities.

SMSF Property Purchases - Buying property through a Self-Managed Super Fund requires additional legal and compliance considerations. We work alongside your accountant and financial adviser to ensure the transaction proceeds correctly.
