What's Involved
What we handle
Contract preparation
We prepare your contract of sale promptly so you can list with confidence. In NSW, this must be ready before marketing begins. We make sure it is.
Requisitions management
After exchange, the buyer's conveyancer will raise requisitions. We handle every response so you never have to chase or decipher legal correspondence.
Discharge of mortgage
We coordinate with your lender to arrange discharge of your mortgage in time for settlement so proceeds are released cleanly on the day.
Settlement
Electronic settlement via PEXA. Sale proceeds hit your account on settlement day. We confirm the outcome and wrap up the file.
Real-world experience
Outdated certificate, resolved before it became a problem
A seller in Melbourne listed their property and accepted an offer quickly. Their previous conveyancer had issued an owners corporation certificate that reflected a special levy — one that had since been paid and resolved. The buyer's conveyancer raised it as a requisition three weeks before settlement. We obtained an updated certificate confirming the levy was discharged, responded within 48 hours, and settlement proceeded on the original date.
From the fileWhat catches people out with Property Sale
Not having the contract ready before you list. In NSW it's a legal requirement. Elsewhere it's just good practice — a slow contract preparation costs you momentum when offers come in.
Leaving mortgage discharge too late. Your lender needs notice to prepare discharge documents. We contact them early. Waiting until the final week causes the most common settlement delays we see.
Using documents from a previous sale without refreshing them. Outgoing certificates, strata records, and title searches can all go stale. Everything needs to be current.
