From contract to keys,
without the chasing.

The lawyer who reviews your contract runs the purchase through to settlement. You are told the settlement figures before the day, and you never have to chase the bank, the agent or the other side.

Client reviews

Property law clients,
in their own words.

Is this you?

When people come to us about buying a property.

Each of these is a good reason to call, and none of them is too early.

  • You have signed, or are about to, and need someone to take it from here.
  • Your lender, broker and agent all need different things by different dates.
  • You are buying an investment property and want nothing missed.
  • Last time, nobody told you what was happening until the week of settlement.

How we help

A purchase has a lot of moving parts. One lawyer keeps them moving.

Between signing and settlement there are searches to order, a deposit to protect, finance to confirm, adjustments to calculate and a lender to keep on schedule. Most delays come from one party waiting on another without anyone noticing.

We run every step for you, electronically through PEXA, and keep you told along the way. Before settlement you receive a statement with every figure explained, so the day itself is uneventful.

What we do

  • Contract review before you sign, back within 24 hours
  • Title, council, water and land tax searches
  • Deposit, finance and building and pest conditions managed to their dates
  • Land transfer duty, concessions and adjustments calculated
  • Liaison with your lender, broker and the vendor’s representative
  • Electronic settlement through PEXA, anywhere in Victoria

What happens first

Your first week with us.

A matter should feel different from the first call. This is what you can expect before anything is signed or sent.

What it costs
  1. Day 1: send the contract

    Email the contract and section 32, or the link from the agent, and tell us the auction or signing date.

  2. Within 24 hours: the red flags, in writing

    What the contract commits you to, what to negotiate before you sign, and what would make us tell you to walk away.

  3. Before you sign: a fixed fee in writing

    One quote for the whole conveyance, so you know the cost before you are committed to anything.

  4. From then on: one lawyer, no chasing

    The lawyer who reviewed your contract runs the file to settlement. You are told the settlement figures before the day, not after.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here, it is a good reason for the free call.

  • When should I contact you?

    Before you sign, if you can. A contract review costs far less than fixing a contract after it is signed. If you have already signed, send it to us the same day so no date is missed.

  • Can you act if the property is outside Melbourne?

    Yes. Settlement is electronic, so we act on property anywhere in Victoria.

  • What does it cost?

    Conveyancing is a fixed fee, quoted before you engage us. Development, SMSF and commercial property work is handled by senior lawyers and scoped in writing before it starts, so you know what you are committing to and what you will get for it.

Tell us what is going on. We will tell you where you stand.

A free 15-minute call. If it is a matter for us, you are booked in with the right solicitor before the call ends. If it is not, we will say so.
