We Can Help You With...

Buying a Property

Let our conveyancing team guide you through the pre-purchase process, which includes the following:

Contract Reviews

Before signing your contract, our team will walk you through each step of the process, so you understand what’s involved up front. We analyse your contract and provide advice so that you can make an informed decision. We will guide you through concerns, identify risks and discuss negotiations to help you get the best outcome.

Avoiding the Nonsense

Pathfinder Law can help you get the best result possible. We inform you what is and isn’t included in your contract, to ensure you understand the entire transaction. When it comes to buying property, we review the contract and work with you to help understand the fine print and cover off any areas of concern. We are here to inform you and assist you with your pre-purchase. Our team will once again be at your side every step of the journey.

Selling a Property

Pathfinder Law’s team is available to assist you in selling your home by:

Preparing your property to go on the market

Before putting your house on the market, you will need a document called a Vendor’s Statement or Section 32. This document is provided to potential purchasers and discloses all necessary information about your property. This document has very specific requirements and must be prepared with the utmost care and caution. Any inaccuracies may result in the purchaser forcing a reduction in sale price or avoiding the contract. We will work with you to ensure you have an accurate Vendor’s Statement – asking all the right questions to ensure you are protected.

Handling the matter from start to finish

In Victoria, over 99% of property transactions are now required to take place electronically. Some law firms and conveyancers have not adopted the required technology and instead outsource the electronic settlement process – passing on their service provider’s fees to their clients and risking delays and errors due to their not completing the job themselves. At Pathfinder Law, we handle the conveyance from start to finish. We provide the right support and advice and help keep you aware of how your matter is progressing, so you know that your matter stays on track. Our focus on innovation and technology ensures that your processes are managed directly by Pathfinder Law and our electronic settlements will be under our control at every step of the process.

When you engage with the Pathfinder Law team to buy, sell, or transfer a property, you can expect professional advice and service to achieve your goals. We strive to form long-term relationships with our clients, ensuring that they are confident in our services and continue to engage us for their future matters.

Your Questions Answered

What is the difference between a law firm and a conveyancer?

A law firm has broader experience in the law, including property transactions, meaning they are able to assist with legal issues that may arise during a transaction. They are also able to flag and resolve any property and commercial matters that should be taken care of at the same time. By contrast, a conveyancer’s expertise is limited to the mechanics of transferring property from one person to another so they may be unable to assist with the whole of your transaction.

What documents do I need for conveyancing?

We are required to verify our client’s identity so you will need 100 points of identification documents. Apart from this, we provide you with all documents necessary to complete your purchase or sale – aside from any additional documents supplied by your lender.

Can you do your own conveyancing?

Individuals are no longer able to do their own conveyancing, as electronic conveyancing requires registration with an online property exchange network such as PEXA, and with other government departments such as the State Revenue Office who are involved in the conveyancing process.

How long does the conveyancing process take?

The timeframe for each conveyancing matter differs greatly depending on the specifics of the property and the transaction. We would recommend allowing at least 14 days between the date of the Contract of Sale, to ensure there is enough time to obtain all required certificates for your property.

What risks are involved?

Simple issues in the transaction and the property can result in issues such as a purchaser avoiding the contract prior to settlement, or a vendor selling you a property that is unusable due to easements, covenants and other restrictions.
