Conveyancing
Real estate transactions for owners, developers, contractors, buyers and sellers
First Consultation Free
The word conveyancing comes from the French word to "Transfer". Property transactions can be complex. At Michael Dwyer Solicitors we handle a variety of real estate transactions for owners, developers, contractors, buyers and sellers alike in both QLD and NSW. Our goal is to create a plan of action to guide you through a real estate transaction from start to finish.
Buying Property
As part of our service we will:
Send you an initial letter informing you of the Terms of the contract
The relevant dates and deadlines of the conveyance
Carry out necessary searches on your behalf
Check for any encumbrances and/or restrictions on the property
Ensure any Special Conditions contained in the contract are met
Liaise with your financier (if any) in relation to your mortgage and calculate any shortfall required from you to complete the purchase
Make sure rates and water consumption charges are paid by the appropriate party
Prepare necessary legal documentation
Advise you on the amount and timing required for payment of stamp duty
Attend settlement on your behalf and then telephone you and send a facsimile to the agent confirming the same
Selling Property
As the seller of a property, your Agent will present you with a contract signed by a prospective purchaser.
As part of our service we will:
Check the contract prior to you signing as part of our fee, just ask the agent to fax the contract to our office and we will thoroughly check and then telephone or meet with you to discuss any changes we feel should be made
Check all documents you are required to sign are in order
Liaise with your Financier (if applicable) in relation to discharge of any mortgage on your property
Calculate / check the settlement figures
Ensure you are paid in full for the property
Attend settlement on your behalf and then telephone you and send a facsimile to the Agent confirming the same
Buying Townhouses & Units
Buying a Townhouse or Unit is often more complex than buying a house. You not only purchase the property, but you also take on a relationship with the owners and the Body Corporate committee for the complex.
As part of our service we will (in addition to the Buying Property Inclusions):
Own the dwelling yourself and share the ownership of communal areas such as lifts, stairwells, pools, driveways and front entrances with other owners
Become a member of the Body Corporate, which is regulated by by-laws giving you both rights and obligations
We will report to you in clear and concise language, and explain the procedures involved at each step of the way of your conveyance transaction.
Refinancing
We can assist you in referencing your loan (and in most cases halve the time it takes) by doing the following:
As part of our service we will:
Liaise with you on your requirements
Arrange for the relevant discharge authorities and mortgage documents to be signed promptly
Liaise with incoming and outgoing Banks
Prepare legal documentation
Calculate stamp duty payable
Check payout figures and net advance amounts
Book settlement in with both Banks
Attend settlement (if required)
We will report to you in clear and concise language, and explain the procedures involved at each step of the way of your conveyance transaction.
