Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most common questions our customers ask:

Why should I use James & Co Conveyancing

With more than 26 years of experience, James & Co Conveyancing provides the added reassurance that all your rights and obligations under the contract are attended to and that your sale, purchase or other conveyancing need is finalised cost effectively and efficiently every time.  Should you run into trouble, you can be assured that James & Co Conveyancing will have the experience to assist you in finding a solution

Why should I have the contract reviewed before I sign?

Contracts are often long and confusing to purchasers and contain unnecessary clauses and sometimes even illegal ones designed to bluff you into paying for something you do not need to.

It is ALWAYS highly recommended that you have the contract reviewed to ensure any nasty surprises are removed prior to signing. We will also advise you of your obligations under the contract of sale and any additional information you need to be aware of.

At James & Co Conveyancing, we offer this service free of charge and obligation. 

What is the purpose of the Section 32 statement. What details must be disclosed?

The purpose of the statement is to disclose information to a potential purchaser prior to entering into a contract. Briefly the Section 32 Statement should contain information relating to:

  • A description of any easements, covenants and other similar restrictions affecting the land.

  • Advise you of the Zoning of the property and ensure you are able to use the property for the purposes you desire.

  • The amount of any rates, taxes or charges affecting the land

  • Details of any notices or proposals affecting the land

  • A statement regarding the services connected to the land together with the authorities supplying such services; and where the land is not vacant, details of any building approvals granted in the preceding seven years and owner-builders must also provide a guarantee and insurance details where specified.

What are adjustments?

Adjustments are prepared by the purchaser’s representative to calculate the monies that are owed upon the property. Adjustable items include the council rates, water rates, land tax, body corporate fees (if applicable) and the like. Adjustments are calculated so that the vendor pays for everything due up to the date of settlement and the purchaser pays for everything from settlement date until the end of the next rating period.

Superior Service, Exceptional Client Care

At James & Co Conveyancing we are committed to getting the best results for our customers.

Mandy Stroscio

Andrew Curtis is a true professional. Not only is he dedicated, but most of all he is extremely passionate about his work and the superior service he provides to both his business partners and his direct clients.

I cannot express enough, how much I recommend Andrew's services as an invaluable asset to your own or your client's property settlement.

David Rule

I worked with Andrew at James & Co and as a first home buyer I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Andrew was absolutely amazing, not only in chasing up all the required parties to get my property purchase organised but he constantly rang me to let me know how things were moving all the way throughout the process.
Thanks Andrew.

Kyle Egan

James and Co Conveyancing assisted me with the purchase of a property some years ago. I recently asked them for some receipts I had misplaced after I sold the property and Andrew responded very promptly with the information I was after.

Thank you for your help.
