Answers to Some of FAQ's About Our Conveyancing Services:

  • What Is "Settlement" In The Property Buying And Selling Process?

    By Australian law, settlement refers to the process of document exchanges between all parties involved in a real estate transaction. These documents impact the transfer of registration. Jarrett Lawrie Conveyancing can ensure all the relevant forms are filled out completely and accurately while guiding you through the process according to regulations.

  • Do I Need To Be Present During The Settlement Process?

    No, the purpose of hiring a conveyancer is to have someone represent your interests. While many of our clients do like to sit in during settlement it's not a requirement. We will let you know when the process is complete so you can collect the keys to your new property or deliver them to the buyer.

  • What Is A Holding Deposit?

    According to real estate law, the holding deposit is the amount of money that a buyer has to pay when they are interested in buying a property. A deposit is typically agreed on and arranged before any of the final documents are set up, signed and certified.

  • Is It Possible To Get Out Of A Contract When The Cooling Off Period Ends?

    No, the purpose of the cooling off period is to determine if both parties want to move forward with the transaction. If the relevant dates have passed, you cannot get out of the contract. The only way to break a contract is with a specific term that was inserted for that purpose, such as being able to back away from a transaction if you cannot secure appropriate financing.
