Selling

When selling a property, the first thing you will need is a Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement to disclose important information to the potential purchaser as well as including Special Conditions to protect your rights.

Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement

Preparing the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement is the most important part of the selling process. We will prepare the contracts to ensure your legal rights are protected, in a timely manner and provide a copy to you and the selling agent at the same time.

Once the property has been sold

Once you have successfully sold the property, we will work with you to ensure your mortgagee/caveator (Bank/Lending Institution or any other interested party on title) is advised of the sale.

We will assist you in providing the mortgagee with a Discharge Request in order for them to prepare for the discharge of your mortgage at settlement and request information from them in order to prepare the Section 27 Notice to Release the Deposit.

Section 27 Notice to Release the Deposit

Where time allows (Settlements of greater than 30 days), we will assist in the preparation of the Section 27 and endeavour to ensure a speedy release of the deposit monies to you.

Settlement

All settlements are now conducted through the Government Settlement Online portal known as PEXA.

James & Co Conveyancing will complete this process on your behalf and ensure your funds are provided to you in a timely manner, monitoring the process continually to ensure a smooth as possible process.

We will regularly update you on the progress, provide you with a breakdown of the funds to be disbursed prior to settlement, as well as a full and final breakdown after settlement.
We will also advise the relevant authorities of the change of ownership.

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.

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.
