The Conveyancing Process Explained

Contract Review Essentials

A contract outlines the terms and conditions of the property sale. Carefully examine it for important details, such as:

  • Property Description: This includes the address and any restrictions.
  • Inclusions and Exclusions: Buyers should know what is included in the sale, such as furniture or fixtures.
  • Cooling-Off Period: Buyers may have a set time to withdraw from the sale without penalty.


Understanding the contract helps avoid unexpected problems down the line.

Stages of Property Transaction

Once the contract is reviewed, the property transaction moves into various stages, including:


  1. Offer and Acceptance: The buyer presents an offer, and the seller accepts it.
  2. Exchange of Contracts: Both parties sign the contracts, making the sale legally binding.
  3. Due Diligence: The buyer conducts inspections and checks to confirm the property’s condition.


Each stage is important for ensuring a smooth transaction. Stay engaged to meet deadlines and fulfill requirements. During this time, we can help manage the paperwork and communications between parties.

Settlement & Exchange of Contracts

Settlement is when the buyer officially takes ownership of the property. Key activities during settlement include:

  • Final Checks: Buyers should conduct a final property inspection to ensure it matches the contract.
  • Payment: The remaining balance of the purchase price is paid to the seller.
  • Transfer of Title: The legal title to the property is transferred to the buyer.


Exchange of contracts happens before settlement to legally bind the transaction. If either party fails to uphold their side of the contract, legal consequences may follow.
