We work with Real Estate Agents and banks to attend to the legalities of transferring properties between Vendors and Purchasers and we closely monitor the process to ensure smooth and thorough settlements. We act on your behalf to protect your investment and if any unforeseen legal issues arise, we have the support of experienced lawyers if required and Professional Indemnity Insurance.

Based in South Melbourne, we act for clients purchasing and selling property in all areas of Melbourne and Victoria and we’re keen to help. So if you’re considering selling or buying a property, feel free to contact us before or after seeing your Real Estate Agent to make the process as easy as turning a key.

When acting for Vendors we compile details on properties offered to market so potential Purchasers can be fully informed and Real Estate Agents can promote properties with confidence.

A contract can take up to 10 working days to be produced due to the required Certificates; or sooner if a rush fee is paid. So if you know when you’d like to put your property on the market, it’s wise to allow for this stage to be completed.

The files we prepare to sell properties typically include a Contract of Sale, Auction and Contract Conditions and a Vendor Statement that consists of the necessary Certificates required by Section 32 of the 1962 Sale Of Land Act.

Typically we provide Real Estate Agents with a PDF of the Contract and Vendor’s Statement to distribute to potential purchasers and have signed by all parties when a property is sold. This provides Real Estate Agents with the optimum tools to inform potential buyers about properties from a legal perspective so they can promote features and benefits to achieve the best sale price possible.

When a property has been sold we liaise with the Purchaser, Real Estate Agent and Financial Institution to confirm financial adjustments and prepare documentation for Settlement to ensure a smooth Title exchange. After Settlements we notify the required bodies of the change of ownership to stop expenses being incurred beyond the settlement date.

Between the day a contract is signed and settlement date, many things can happen that may put the intention to own a property at risk. When acting for Purchasers we take great care to review the Vendor’s Statement considering the Title, Plans and other Certificates and arrange documentation for settlement while accounting for financial adjustments.

We liaise with Financial Institutions and Real Estate Agents to ensure properties are transferred correctly and smoothly. Post settlement we notify all utilities and bodies of the change of ownership so Purchasers can enjoy their property with confidence.

The things that are important to you, are important to us; speed, service, advice, support, accuracy and commitment. The advantage of using Turnkey Conveyancing is that we’re at your beck and call and act quickly to avoid and solve problems.

Our business is property conveyancing only, so we focus on achieving optimum results for our clients transferring property. All property conveyances are quoted individually via Authority To Act forms sent to clients to formally appoint us to act before any work is done, and in most cases the charge is $1200 + GST plus disbursement costs.

The disbursement costs of certificates and administration fees required to transfer properties are charged additionally by 3rd parties and paid by us on your behalf to recover on or before settlement, and on average these costs range between $350 and $550 depending on the type of property.

As more than 90% of property transfers are financed by financial institutions, the market is competitive and it pays to shop around. If you’d like to speak to some people we’ve worked with in the past and would be happy to work with again, please let us know in the Contact Form below.
