Need property and conveyancing peace of mind?

Electronic conveyancing has certainly simplified a lot of things. No longer do we need to attend a physical meeting where someone might be late or not have brought the correct documents which may delay your settlement. However, conveyancing has become more complex with various Government requirements to tick off and comply with. For instance on every purchase we:

1. Advise on the matters we highly recommend you investigate before signing a contract, or advise you on the contract once you have signed;

2. Arrange for searches and certificates and review these and inform you of any issues or differences with the vendor information provided in the Vendor’s Statement;

3. Prepare a caveat or priority notice to protect your interest in the property, if requested;

4. Advise you in relation to the vendor’s disclosure obligations;

5. Co-ordinate with your lender and provide them any documents required;

6. Prepare the transfer of land;

7. Prepare an adjustment of the rates on the property between you and the vendor;

8. Make sure the vendor is tax compliant and that no amounts need to be deducted at settlement and paid to the ATO;

9. Arrange settlement with all parties;

10. Notify the statutory authorities of the change in ownership of the property; and

11. Report to you.

So even with electronic conveyancing there is a lot to do and check on your behalf.
