Conveyancing...

We aim to meet your conveyancing needs efficiently and at an affordable price.

Your matter is handled professionally by a property solicitor that specializes in buying and selling properties (not just a conveyancer). The solicitor will take you from start to finish. We are here to make you feel comfortable in the entire process. Best of all, a fixed flat fee is charged for our conveyancing, being up to less than half of what traditional solicitors and conveyancing lawyers charge. Our practice is not cheap on quality.

We save you money in our efficiencies through the conveyancing process due our specialty in this area of law. We realise that everyone is busy. In order to meet the needs of your busy lifestyle, Sydney Legal Practice has established an online conveyancing service providing fast and affordable conveyancing. We are a firm that believes in meeting your needs so online accessibility is another medium to ensure convenience to you.
By using the technology and conveyancing software that is safe and encrypted to ensure your privacy, our practice is able to deliver a prompt and fuss free service with a customer friendly interface, allowing you extra time to go about your business, rather than spending time in a solicitor's waiting room.

Our property conveyancing services can be accessed online, via fax, over the telephone or face-to-face through our network of offices. Use our affordable conveyancing services and save money while you stay in control.

How Does The Conveyancing Process Work?.

Step 1 – Pre-exchange:

* Obtain a home loan approval. This way, you know what your budget is when you are looking for a home.

* Work out where you want to live or buy into. Research the area and the neighbourhood, speak to real estate agents, attend open houses and look at home price guides.

* Decide on your dream or investment property. Request the agent to send the proposed contract to you for one of our solicitors to review at NO charge.

* Negotiate on price with the selling agent.

Our experienced solicitor will:

• Review the contract for sale and negotiate any amendments you wish to make free of charge
• Order any reports you require such as pest, building, survey and strata report
• Liaise with your lender to ensure your loan is approved

Step 2 – Exchange:

You have now decided on your property. A 10% deposit is usually required by way of cash or deposit bond (we can help you arrange a deposit bond if required). At Sydney Legal Practice, we are always looking out for your best interests. Depending on circumstances, we can negotiate smaller deposits to be made or your deposit to be invested in a interest-earning bank account until settlement.
Sign the contract.

Our experienced solicitor will:

* Review the contract to ensure it is ready to proceed with being signed by both parties
* Meet you face-to-face or send the contract to you for signing
* Send the contract signed by you to the vendor's solicitor to be exchanged.

Step 3 – Post exchange, leading up to settlement

* You are underway to owning your new home. Starting preparing for the move, arranging boxes and packing your home tidbits away.
* Arrange for your mortgage documents to be signed and sent to your lender.
* Ensure your money will be ready for settlement. This can mean chasing your lender to ensure everything is on track.
* Consider the First Home Owners Grant (if applicable) and complete form. At Sydney Legal Practice, we can assist you in this regard.
* Draw up bank cheques. This is for payment of Stamp Duty and balance owing to the seller. We will instruct you in relation to the bank cheques.
* It is highly recommended to arrange a final inspection with the real estate agent a day before settlement.

Our experienced solicitor will:

* Order and check all remaining searches
* Advise you of any additional searches that may be required by your lender
* Assist you to meet any requirements imposed on you by your lender
* Assist you to complete the First Home buyers stamp duty exemption form
* Liaise with lender to ensure they are prepared or settlement
* Prepare settlement figures and book settlement with your lender and the seller's solicitor
* Prepare a property transfer and arrange to have the Transfer and Contract for Sale stamped (stamp duty paid)
* Advise you and your lender of cheque details for settlement.

STEP 4 – Settlement

* Arrange with the real estate agent a convenient time and place to collect the keys to your new house. It is important to ensure at this time that you have the keys to all locks including garage doors, mailboxes, garden sheds, alarm codes for the property and remote controls for automatic garages.

Our experienced solicitor will:

* Attend settlement on your behalf and ensure that all Title Documents are in order
* Pay settlement monies as instructed to seller's solicitor
* Contact you and the real estate agent to confirm that the settlement has taken place

STEP 5 - following settlement

* If moving into this home, arrange to have electricity, gas, water and telephone switched to your name.
* Change all incoming mail to new residential address.
* Most importantly, enjoy your new property.

Our experienced solicitor will:

* For purchases without a mortgage, lodge the Transfer and Notice of Sale with the Department of Lands and then send you your Title Deed when it has been registered
* Send you a final reporting letter
* We will keep your file for seven years. This makes it easier for us when you decide to sell your property in the future.
