Seller Essentials: Drafting to Settlement
List fast. Disclose correctly. Settle smoothly.
One clear pathway for Victorian vendors - from compliant documents to a stress-free digital settlement.
Step 1 - Engage & Confirm Authority
Engage early so legal documents never slow your campaign. We'll confirm your authority to sell and gather all compliance essentials before your property hits the market.
Deceased estates? → Obtain Probate or Letters of Administration (where needed)
Relationship breakdowns? → Contact Family Law or Consent Orders (where needed)
Not on title? → Provide written authority documentation
Gather VOI-ready ID → don't pack passports or certificates
Step 2 - Draft Contract & Section 32
We order all required searches, prepare your Section 32 Vendor Statement, and draft a compliant Contract of Sale with tailored special conditions.
Council, water, planning and land tax searches
Owners Corporation certificates (if applicable)
Tailored special conditions that protect your position
We ensure your disclosure meets every legal requirement - no surprises, no delays.
Step 3 - Agent Alignment & Advertising Accuracy
We coordinate with your agent and align all details before the campaign goes live. Everything buyers see must match the contract and Section 32.
You agree on settlement terms, inclusions, exclusions, and advertising wording.
You approve Statement of Information accuracy before publishing.
When planning your open-home think about access and security - remove valuables, set entry conditions.
Step 4 - On-Market Management
Whether you're selling privately or by auction, we manage legal communication and protect your interests as offers and variations come through.
Private sale: buyer queries, timing changes, and contract edits.
Negotiation: we approve all special conditions before signing.
Step 5 - After Signing (Countdown to Settlement)
The hard work pays off here. We keep everything on track to settlement.
Complete VOI and Client Authorisation Form (CAF)
Return mortgage discharge forms early (banks can take 10+ days)
Provide ATO clearance or foreign resident variation if needed
Keys & access: deliver to agent; early entry only via licence agreement
Step 6 - Settlement Day (Digital via PEXA)
We coordinate your lender, the buyer's representative, and Land Titles Office digitally - you don't attend.
Transfer of title and mortgage discharge occur electronically.
Funds clear through RBA/PEXA rails, usually same-day (up to 3 business days).
Agent releases keys once completion is confirmed.
Step 7 - Post-Settlement Wrap-Up
We notify all relevant authorities, close your file, and provide your final statement. You can move on knowing everything is complete.
Cancel or transfer utilities after settlement confirmation.
Provide copies of warranties and manuals for goodwill.
