Engage Flint Lawyers and Receive Your Fixed-Fee Quote
We review your Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor's Statement before you sign anything. We identify unusual conditions, restrictive covenants, encumbrances, and risks that could affect your position. If you're selling, we prepare these documents on your behalf and ensure they comply with Victorian law.
Property Searches and Due Diligence
We conduct all required property searches, title searches, council rates, water authority records, VicRoads information, land tax clearance, planning certificates, and owners' corporation details. These searches uncover any issues affecting the property before you commit to settlement.
Finance Confirmation and Special Conditions
We monitor your finance approval deadline and coordinate directly with your lender. We track every special condition in your contract, including building and pest inspections , and confirm each one satisfies before your contract becomes unconditional.
Transfer Documents and Settlement Preparation
We prepare all transfer documents, calculate settlement adjustments for rates and outgoings, and coordinate with your bank, the real estate agent, and the other party's solicitor. We advise you on your right to conduct a pre-settlement inspection before you take possession.
Settlement
We attend settlement electronically through PEXA, Victoria's electronic conveyancing platform. We confirm all funds transfer correctly, verify all documents execute properly, and notify you immediately the moment the settlement completes.
Post-Settlement and Title Registration
We lodge your transfer of land with Land Use Victoria, notify all relevant authorities of the ownership change, and confirm every outstanding matter finalises correctly. Your property transaction is complete and your ownership is officially registered.
