Selling your property is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make. The legal process can be complex, but with the right guidance, it can be a seamless and rewarding experience. At Star Property Conveyancing, we specialise in managing the legal aspects of your property sale from start to finish, ensuring you meet all your legal obligations while protecting your interests.
Before you can even market your property for sale in Victoria, you are legally required to have a complete and accurate Section 32 Vendor Statement.
The Section 32 Statement is a crucial disclosure document that provides potential buyers with essential information about the property. It must be provided to a buyer before they sign the Contract of Sale. An incomplete or inaccurate statement can give the buyer the right to pull out of the contract, so getting it right is paramount.
This statement includes details such as:
Legally, you must have a Contract of Sale and a Section 32 Vendor’s Statement prepared before your property can be advertised. Getting these documents right is critical to avoid future disputes. Contact Star Property Conveyancing to ensure you start your sale on the right foot.
Your main costs will be the agent’s commission, bank mortgage discharge fees, and conveyancing services. We provide a transparent, fixed-fee quote for our work, so you’ll know exactly what to budget for. Call us for a no-obligation quote and complete cost breakdown.
You’ll need to provide details about the property, especially any building works or renovations you’ve done. Full and accurate disclosure is a legal requirement that protects you as a seller. Let us guide you through exactly what’s needed for a compliant and secure sale.
Settlement is usually 30, 60, or 90 days after the contract is signed. On the final day, we manage the entire electronic process, we manage all the crucial background tasks, including liaising with your bank to arrange the discharge of your mortgage and coordinating with the buyer’s conveyancer. For a smooth, on-time settlement, contact our expert team.
In some cases, yes. This process is known as a “Section 27 Early Release of Deposit,” but it depends on strict legal conditions and the buyer’s agreement. Contact Star Property Conveyancing to find out if this is a possibility for your sale.
We provide a clear, structured approach to ensure every stage of your sale is handled with precision and care.
We recommend you engage with us as soon as you decide to sell. We will discuss your situation, explain the process, and begin preparing the necessary legal documents, starting with the Section 32 Statement.
Working alongside the Section 32, we will draft the Contract of Sale. This legal document outlines the terms and conditions of the sale, including the price, settlement date, and any special conditions. Having these documents prepared early means your real estate agent can provide them to interested buyers immediately.
Once the contract and Section 32 are ready, your agent can begin marketing the property. We work closely with your chosen agent, promptly providing them with all necessary legal documents and handling any legal queries from potential purchasers.
When a buyer makes an offer you accept, we manage the contract signing process. We ensure the contract is correctly signed by all parties and facilitate the payment of the deposit, which is typically held in the real estate agent’s trust account until settlement.
After the contract is signed, we liaise with your bank or lender to arrange the discharge of your mortgage. We coordinate with the buyer’s conveyancer to ensure all parties are ready for the final stage.
Settlement is now conducted electronically via PEXA (Property Exchange Australia). On the settlement day, we represent you in the electronic workspace, ensuring the buyer pays the balance of the purchase price. In return, we authorise the release of the title to them and the discharge of your mortgage. We will notify you and your agent the moment the settlement is complete, authorising the release of the keys to the new owner.
