Our Specialists in Conveyancing can advise you on:
Buying your First Home
Purchasing your first home can be both an incredibly exciting and daunting experience. Your first home will inevitably be the biggest financial investment and commitment that you will have made so far. For those new to the property market, and to the conveyancing process, buying your first home may seem overwhelming at times. Our team will make the process easy to make sure you understand what is available to you as a first home buyer.
Buying a Home
Whether it’s off the plan, a house and land package or an existing home. We can assist you through the process ensuring you understand your legal requirements.
If you are planning to purchase at an auction our team can review the contract prior to ensure you have negotiated the settlement date and inclusions in the property.
If you are buying the home through a direct sale we can review the contract to ensure there are no surprises when you purchase the property.
Buying and Selling from your Superannuation
Buying property through your self-managed superannuation fund or transferring a property into your self-managed superfund is possible – Ask us how.
Selling your Property
Once you have selected a Real Estate agent to sell your home, you should also engage a qualified conveyancer to prepare the contact for sale including necessary paperwork and searches from the council and other parties. You may also want to include special conditions into the contract regarding what will/won’t be included and your ideal settlement dates.
