What to know before you buy or sell in Victoria
Get advice before you sign
Once you sign a contract, your options narrow quickly. A review of the contract and the vendor's Section 32 statement can flag problems with the title, planning, building permits or special conditions while you can still negotiate.
Cooling-off has limits
Many private sales in Victoria have a three business day cooling-off period, but there are exceptions (including auctions), and ending a contract this way usually costs a small penalty. We'll tell you whether it applies to you.
Settlement is electronic
Most Victorian settlements now happen online through PEXA. We co-ordinate with your lender, the other party and the agent so funds and title transfer on the day.

Conveyancing & Property Law: frequently asked questions
How much does conveyancing cost?
We quote a fixed fee before we start, based on whether you're buying or selling and the type of property. Government fees and searches are listed separately so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
Should a lawyer review the contract before I sign?
Yes, wherever possible. Once a contract is signed, your options to back out or renegotiate are limited. A review beforehand can identify issues with the title, planning restrictions, building permits or unusual special conditions.
How long does conveyancing take in Victoria?
Most contracts settle 30 to 90 days after signing, depending on the settlement date negotiated. Off-the-plan purchases can take longer because settlement depends on the building being completed.
Can you help if I'm buying off the plan?
Yes. We review off-the-plan contracts, including sunset clauses, deposit arrangements and changes the developer can make, and we manage settlement when the plan of subdivision is registered.
