If you are proposing to sell your property, contact us early. Legislation now prohibits a Real Estate Agent from marketing your property without a complete Contract for Sale. The legislation also details the prescribed documents that must be included in your Contract for Sale. We will promptly obtain those documents and have your Contract to your Real Estate Agent as soon as possible. We will keep you and your agent informed of the progress every step of the way.

If you are considering purchasing a property, again, contact us early in the transaction. We suggest that we peruse a proposed Contract prior to you signing or exchanging the Contract to make sure that from initial investigations, all appears in order to proceed with the next step.

The right conveyancer
for your NEEDS

When you are selling or purchasing real estate, there are many things you should consider before making a decision. We are happy to discuss your needs over the phone or face to face with you either in our office or at your place. We understand that in this day and age of busy lifestyles and large mortgages to pay, it is often hard to break away from work to see your Certified Practising Conveyancer. With this in mind, we are happy, with prior notice, to meet with you after hours or on weekends to suit your needs.

EXCHANGING YOUR CONTRACT

There are two ways in which Contracts for Sale may be exchanged. One way is with a “cooling off period.” Under this option, you pay a deposit of 0.25% and the Contracts are exchanged with a cooling off period of five days. During this time we arrange on your behalf, pest and building and/or strata inspections and you finalise your loan approvals. If you change your mind about proceeding, you may rescind the Contract and forfeit the 0.25% deposit. The other way to exchange your Contract for Sale is with a Section 66W Certificate and payment of the 10% deposit. This certificate states that your Conveyancer has fully explained to you that upon exchange, your contract is unconditional and should you not complete the purchase, you will forfeit the 10% deposit and may be sued for damages by the vendor. However, Most vendors in the Northern New South Wales area do require the Section 66W Certificate to be signed to waive the cooling off period.
