Property Law — Frequently Asked Questions

What does a conveyancer do?

A conveyancer manages the legal transfer of property ownership from seller to buyer. This includes reviewing the Section 32 vendor statement, preparing or reviewing the contract of sale, conducting property searches, liaising with banks, and managing settlement.

Do I need a lawyer or conveyancer to buy property in Victoria?

You are not legally required to use a lawyer or licensed conveyancer, but it is strongly recommended. Property transactions involve significant legal and financial risk. A qualified conveyancer or property lawyer protects your interests and ensures the transaction is completed correctly.

What is a Section 32 vendor statement?

A Section 32 vendor statement (also called a vendor's statement) is a document the seller must provide to the buyer before signing a contract of sale in Victoria. It discloses important information about the property including title details, encumbrances, planning restrictions, and outgoings.

How much does conveyancing cost in Melbourne?

Conveyancing costs vary depending on the property value and complexity. Professional fees typically range from $800–$2,500 for residential conveyancing, plus disbursements such as title searches, stamp duty, and registration fees. Contact us for a fixed-fee quote.
