How sale conveyancing works
- Contract preparation. We prepare the contract for sale, including ordering the title search, Section 10.7 planning certificate, drainage diagram, and any other required annexures. Special conditions are drafted to suit your sale.
- Contract distribution. The finalised contract is provided to your selling agent for distribution to prospective buyers and their solicitors.
- Negotiation and exchange. We handle any requests from the buyer's solicitor to amend special conditions, manage the exchange process, and confirm receipt of the deposit.
- Pre-settlement management. Between exchange and settlement, we respond to the buyer's requisitions, arrange discharge of your mortgage (if applicable), and coordinate with all parties to keep the transaction on track.
- Settlement. On settlement day, we manage the electronic settlement through PEXA ensuring the buyer's funds are received, your mortgage is discharged, and title transfers to the new owner.
- Post-settlement. We confirm settlement has completed, verify that your mortgage has been discharged, and ensure the net proceeds have been directed to your nominated account.
When you might need sale conveyancing
Selling your home. Whether you've accepted an offer through private treaty or you're going to auction, you need a solicitor to prepare the contract, manage the legal process, and handle settlement.
Downsizing or upgrading. If you're selling to buy elsewhere, timing matters. We coordinate your sale conveyancing alongside your purchase conveyancing to align the two settlements wherever possible.
Selling an investment property. Investment property sales may involve existing tenancies, lease assignments, and bond transfers. We include the appropriate special conditions and manage these elements through to settlement.
Selling as an executor. If you're selling a property as part of a deceased estate, the contract preparation and sale process requires additional documentation including the grant of probate or letters of administration. We work alongside the probate process.
Selling following separation. Where former partners have agreed to sell a jointly owned property as part of a separation, the sale conveyancing needs to be coordinated with any property consent orders or binding financial agreements in place.
Sale conveyancing fees
Our vendor conveyancing is quoted on a fixed-fee basis and includes contract preparation, management of the sale through to settlement, and post-settlement confirmation. Disbursements such as title searches, planning certificates, and discharge of mortgage fees are additional and quoted upfront before we start.
