Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of a conveyancer in selling property?
A conveyancer handles all legal aspects of the property sale, including preparing the contract of sale, conducting title searches, liaising with the buyer’s conveyancer, and ensuring the transaction complies with all legal requirements. They help facilitate a smooth and legally compliant sale process.
How long does the property sale process take?
The time frame for selling a property can vary, but typically it takes around 4 to 6 weeks from signing the contract to settlement. This period allows for necessary legal checks, financial arrangements, and any conditions to be fulfilled.
What documents do I need to provide when selling my property?
When selling your property, you need to provide a signed contract of sale, a Section 32 Vendor’s Statement (disclosing information about the property), and any relevant certificates or permits. Your conveyancer will help you prepare and compile these documents.
What is a Section 32 Vendor's Statement?
A Section 32 Vendor’s Statement is a legal document provided by the seller, disclosing important information about the property, such as title details, zoning, outgoings, and any encumbrances or restrictions. It ensures the buyer is fully informed before signing the contract.
Are there any costs involved in selling my property?
Yes, selling a property involves various costs, including conveyancing fees, real estate agent commissions, advertising fees, and potentially capital gains tax. Your conveyancer will provide a detailed breakdown of all expected costs.
What happens during the settlement process?
During settlement, your conveyancer will handle the transfer of property ownership, ensure all financial adjustments are made, and coordinate with all parties involved. This includes transferring the title to the buyer and ensuring you receive the sale proceeds.
Can I sell my property if there is still a mortgage on it?
Yes, you can sell your property if it has an existing mortgage. Your conveyancer will work with your lender to arrange for the mortgage to be discharged at settlement, ensuring the loan is paid off from the sale proceeds.
How can I make sure the property sale is legally compliant?
Working with an experienced conveyancer ensures that all legal requirements are met. They will guide you through the process, prepare necessary documents, conduct required searches, and ensure the sale adheres to all relevant laws and regulations.
