What to do when selling a property?

A conveyancer will firstly obtain instructions from you in relation to the property and prepare a contract on that basis. The contract must be accurate and contain certain information to create a contract that is binding on the buyer. If a document that is required under vendor disclosure is not added in the contract can lead to the buyer being able to challenge the contract or seek a reduction in the agreed price.

The conveyancer will liase with the buyer’s legal representative and following exchange will
prepare the matter for settlement. Conveyancers will coordinate the electronic workspace, ensure all documents that are required are prepared and signed off correctly, correspond with the lender, prepare the transfer of funds and ensure the property is vacated for settlement. If the steps by the conveyancer are not taken, the settlement can be delayed or fail altogether.
