Contract review
We read the contract and the vendor statement before you sign, line by line.
Your named conveyancer. Never a pool, never a handover.
A written list of what to strike, what to ask, and what is fine as it stands.
How settlement works.
Six stations, eleven searches, one named conveyancer. Here is what happens at each step, who does it, and what lands in front of you.
Every file moves through the same six stations.
The order never changes. You always know which station your file is standing at, and who is standing there with it.
Searches ordered
All eleven searches go out the day you engage us, not the week after.
Priya orders and reads them, and flags anything that needs you.
Each result as it lands, with one plain English sentence on what it means.
Exchange
Counterparts are signed and swapped, and the settlement date is written in.
Your conveyancer attends exchange and confirms the date in writing.
One message: exchanged, the date, and what happens between now and then.
Adjustments
Rates, taxes and outgoings are split between vendor and purchaser to the day.
Priya calculates them, and your conveyancer checks every line.
The adjustment sheet in writing before settlement, not on it.
Final checks
A final title search and a last read of the whole file, the night before.
Your conveyancer, with the file open and nothing else booked.
A short message: everything is in order, or here is what we are fixing.
Settlement day
Funds move, documents lodge, and ownership transfers to you.
Daniel attends settlement and does not leave until it completes.
The settled message the moment it lands. Then the agent releases the keys.
The eleven searches, and what each one catches.
Title
Confirms the seller actually owns what they are selling, and who else has a claim on it.
Plan and easements
Catches the sewer main running under your future extension.
Council rates
Catches unpaid council rates that would otherwise transfer with the property.
Water and sewer diagram
Shows where the water and sewer lines actually run, not where the plan says they should.
Zoning certificate
Catches the dream extension the council will never approve.
Land tax
Catches land tax owing on the title before it becomes your problem.
Roads
Catches proposed road widenings and resumptions that take a slice of the block.
Contamination register
Catches land that was once a service station or a tip, before the bank does.
Flood and bushfire overlay
Catches the block that floods each February, before you own it.
Strata records, where applicable
Catches special levies and building defects hiding in the owners corporation minutes.
Final title check
The last look, the night before settlement, so nothing new has lodged since exchange.
The people on your file.
Two principals and one senior conveyancer. One of them owns your file, and you have their direct line from day one.
Sarah Penrose
PRINCIPAL . LICENSED CONVEYANCER
Sarah reads every contract herself. When you call, she is the one who picks up.
Daniel Hale
PRINCIPAL . LICENSED CONVEYANCER
Daniel runs settlement day. He has never missed a contract date.
Priya Nair
SENIOR CONVEYANCER
Priya runs the searches and the adjustments, and flags trouble while there is still time to fix it.
When something surfaces.
We call you first.
The same day the search lands, before anyone else panics.
We put the options in writing.
Fix it, renegotiate it, or walk away, with the cost of each spelled out.
You decide.
It is your purchase. We execute whichever you choose, at the same fixed fee.
