Acting in a Purchase

Once you're ready to proceed, we handle the entire legal process of the purchase. We’ll review your Contract of Sale and Section 32 Statement, conduct title and planning certificate searches, and liaise with your lender to prepare for settlement. We also prepare the Transfer of Land, calculate financial adjustments, and ensure the property is correctly transferred into your name.

Settlement

The settlement date is set in your contract. On this day, we coordinate with the vendor’s conveyancer and your lender to finalise the transaction. Once settlement is complete, the property is officially yours.

Final Inspection

You’re entitled to inspect the property in the week leading up to settlement. This is your opportunity to make sure the property is in the same condition as it was on the day of sale. Contact the Selling Agent to arrange this inspection.

The Selling Agent typically holds the keys. Once settlement is confirmed, the agent will be authorised to release them to you.

FAQs

What is property conveyancing? 

Property conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property from one person to another. It includes reviewing contracts, conducting searches, preparing transfer documents, and arranging settlement.

Do I need a property conveyancer when buying a house?

Yes. A conveyancer ensures your legal interests are protected, helps you understand your obligations, and handles all documentation required for a smooth settlement.

What does a pre-purchase review include?

We’ll review your Contract of Sale and Section 32 Statement, check for issues and flag anything unusual before you sign.

What’s the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?

Conveyancers specialise in conveyancing. We're licensed, insured, and qualified to handle your property transaction at a more affordable rate than most solicitors.

How much does conveyancing for buying a house cost?

Western Conveyancing offers low, fixed-fee pricing for buyers. We’ll also provide clear detail on any government charges and third-party fees like PEXA. Please contact us for further details regarding costs and we can provide a written quote that is specific to your circumstances and needs.

How long does the property buying process take?

It depends on your contract terms, but most settlements take between 30 and 90 days. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
