When Should I Approach a Conveyancer?
Whether you’re a buying or selling a property, it’s important to have an efficient and effective conveyancer or lawyer to help you throughout the process. A professional property lawyer provides assistance with the settlement and title transfer; ensures their client is meeting all legal obligations; and makes sure their rights are protected. It is helpful to know when to engage a conveyancer when buying and selling your property.
Selling a Property
If you’re selling your property, it’s best to contact a property lawyer to handle your conveyancing as soon as possible. This is because you need the Vendor’s Statement and Contract of Sale, which needs to be prepared by a conveyancer or solicitor before you can accept any offers on your property. This task requires a bit of time and preparation, so it’s best to speak to an experienced conveyancing lawyer first to get this started.
A conveyancer can also help you choose a settlement date and arrange the discharge of your mortgage. If you’re planning on an early settlement, you’ll need to keep bank time frames in mind. A property lawyer can help you work out how long it will take for settlement.
Buying a Property
If you’re buying property, it’s important to choose a conveyancer BEFORE you sign a contract. Most people do not have a deep understanding of Contracts of Sale and Section 32 Statements (and why would you?), but once you have signed a contract you may not be able to get out of it. This is especially important if you intend to buy a property at an auction as it is unconditional. We can look over your contract and the Vendor’s Statement ahead of time and find any points you may have missed.
We also go through the Vendors Statement to make sure the property details are fully disclosed. A lot of detail is contained in the Section 32 (vendors statement) and it can help you decide how much the property is worth.
We can give you questions to ask and alert you to common pitfalls to look out. For example issues around the condition of the property and how to protect yourself later at settlement.
A conveyancer can also ensure you have time to negotiate special conditions so that your agreement with the Vendor is fully covered in writing, preventing problems from arising later on.
Once purchasers have established a relationship with a lawyer or conveyancer you can also ask them for their input and knowledge during the negotiation stage. Sometimes having a sounding board and someone in your corner can help you to make the best decisions when buying your house or investment.
Vendors may often verbally agree to things and later change their mind and you are left with no recourse.

We live in Canberra and decided to purchase an apartment in Melbourne CBD. We contacted Conveyancing Depot are some initial research seeking a Melbourne based service. Brad from Conveyancing Depot contacted us extremely promptly, and was our conveyancer from start to settlement. Always fast to respond, attention to detail was superb, with no hitches or issues at all along the way. Highly recommend.
Was having great hassle with getting a mortgage and juggling all the issues and what needed to be done started looking for a conveyancer, after 3 calls with tired old people that didn’t particularly care or sound like they were interested in helping me out. I called Brad Mayberry up on their phone number and was instantly reassured and told of what should happen next, the rest is history after a settled mortgage.
Brad Mayberry was a fantastic conveyancer for our recent property purchase. He was very responsive and gave us some great advice throughout the process, and was nice to deal with. Thanks!
Brad was fantastic through my whole settlement. It was a 30 day settlement which landed over the Christmas period so l really appreciated his effort working on it through the holidays. All communication was clear and he was available at all times when l had questions. He helped me with questions that were not necessarily in his remit. He read my section 32 urgently as there was hardly any time before the auction and made helpful comments. The whole process went very smoothly, and l would highly recommend him.
Brad was awesome from the moment he took my call. I would highly recommend him and the team at Conveyancing Depot. Professional, understanding, supportive, kind, patient and brilliant of what they do. Thank you so much for everything.
Amy and Brad have been super helpful with our recent purchase! Super professional and easy to contact. Very reasonable pricing also!
I love working with Amy, she was very helpful and responsive. Made the entire process a delight for me with her patience and flexibility! I would 100% recommend their services.
Brad and Amy made my experience buying a house pretty seamless. Whenever I had a question they would either call or email back promptly. There was some issues on settlement day with the Vendor but they went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met and communication was flawless. I'd highly recommend using Conveyancing Depot and if I had to buy again or sell I would definitely use them again.
I would highly recommend Conveyancing Depot. They helped us out at short notice and communicated promptly via phone and email throughout the process. We are first home buyers and they we helpful in letting us know what we needed to do to purchase our first home.
They know what to do at every step; things just get handled. Fast clear communications. I 100% recommend their services. Amy was amazing and reduced my stress levels a lot.
