Keep your property journey on track
A simple guide to help you avoid unnecessary delays, stress and risk.
Have the contract reviewed
Don’t sign anything until a qualified conveyancer has reviewed the contract. This early step can save you time, money and stress later.
Confirm your finance pre-approval
One of the most common delays in a property transaction is finance. Make sure your pre-approval is current and reliable before you move forward.
Know your key dates
Understanding the cooling-off period, settlement timeline and other key milestones helps you plan and avoid last-minute surprises. Your conveyancer can walk you through this.
Engage a conveyancer immediately
The sooner you bring your conveyancer on board, the more smoothly things will run. They’ll coordinate with agents, banks and the other party from the outset.
Send through required documents promptly
Identification, finance details, contract copies; getting your documents in quickly helps keep everything moving.
Notify your bank or broker
If you’re buying, make sure your lender is looped in early. Delays with finance approval can affect settlement and cause costly issues.
Complete searches and inspections
Your conveyancer will handle the required property searches. If you’re purchasing, arrange any building or pest inspections early to avoid delays.
Respond quickly to emails and calls
Timely communication helps keep your matter on track. A delay in response can hold up multiple parties.
Review and sign documents without delay
Conveyancing involves several legal documents. Be ready to review and sign as soon as they're issued.
Arrange insurance (if required)
If you’re buying, you may need to have building insurance in place before settlement. Check your obligations.
Make sure funds are ready to go
Whether it’s a deposit, loan or transfer of balance, ensure your finances are in order and ready ahead of the settlement date.
Schedule a final inspection
If you’re purchasing, conduct a pre-settlement inspection to confirm the property is in the expected condition.
Delays in conveyancing don’t just create stress, they can risk the sale or purchase itself.
The best way to avoid complications is to act early and work with a professional team who understands the process inside and out.
