Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from a conveyancer?
You can expect a conveyancer to handle the legal side of your property sale including searches, documentation and communication with the other party’s legal team. Your conveyancer should also be in regular contact, let you know if there is anything you need to do and keep you updated about the progress of the property transaction.
Do you really need a conveyancer?
Yes. A conveyancer is an expert when it comes to property transactions and due to the large amount of legal work, documentation and expertise required, a conveyancer is essential in most property transactions. They will also make sure there are no issues, errors or factors which could negatively impact your sale and provide valuable legal advice.
How long after settlement will I get my money?
At exchange of Contracts, the buyer will have to pay a deposit of 10% of the purchase price.
If you elect to purchase with a cooling-off period, usually of five working days the purchaser needs to pay 0.25% of the purchase price and the balance of the 10% before the expiration of the cooling-off period. During the cooling-off period the Purchaser can elect to rescind the Contract and not proceed but would forfeit the 0.25% deposit paid. Around six weeks after this there will be a settlement to conclude the sale transaction. After settlement day, you will be notified that the settlement has been finalised and the money has been received into your account. Call Linda Emery & Associates for expert advice to negotiate through the process.
