Sellers Guide

What is a contract of sale?

A contract of sale is a legally binding agreement between a seller and a buyer. It details the terms and conditions in which a seller agrees to transfer ownership of a property to a buyer. The contract is the core of protecting your rights as a vendor, which is why it’s advised that an experienced lawyer prepares this documentation.

What will the solicitor do?

Our solicitors are qualified professional who specialise in the legal procedures of buying and selling property.

They will:

Provide expert information and advice about the purchase of your property
Prepare or review legal documentation for property transactions
Ensure their clients are legally protected throughout the process, from sale to settlement.

What are my obligations as a seller?

To prepare a contract for sale of the property that complies with the relevant legal requirements and contains all necessary disclosures
To advertise the property for sale in a manner which is not misleading
To ensure that the property has the benefit of all legally required certificates and authorisations, such as a pool certificate of compliance where the property has a pool or spa

How long is the average settlement?

The average settlement is 42 days, although this can change by agreement between the seller and the buyer.

Am I obliged to maintain my property before settlement?

Generally, you are required to maintain the property in the same condition that it was in at the date of the sale, subject to fair wear and tear.

Is the buyer allowed to inspect the property before settlement?

Generally, the buyer is permitted to inspect the property on the day of completion, so as to ensure the property is in the condition required by the contract.

Higher Level of Regulation: Solicitors are regulated by stringent professional bodies, ensuring a high standard of service and accountability, giving you added confidence in their professionalism and ethical conduct.

  Sarah and team were absolutely amazing to deal with. Incredibly professional, thorough, provided exceptional advice. Saved us probably thousands of dollars due to research / ground work on outstanding payments from previous owner before settling. Day to day pulse checks and communication made the process easy. Highly recommend and very competitive pricing for their charges as well. Thank you 🙌

  Patrice is thorough and has your back during the entire process. My partner and I purchased a strata owned property. Patrice reviewed a few strata reports for us and was very detailed and informative with outlining the risks associated with each unit reviewed. We made an informed choice with their very detailed feedback and have completed settlement. The service was easy to access and fair fees.

  Highly recommend Kaz Conveyancing. Not only for their affordable rates but also quality of service. I'm very grateful to Nishma for all her hard work to help me buy my first house. From the contract advice through to the settlement, she provided detailed but concise information, was proactive with all issues and parties involved, worked efficiently and was very responsive. As a first home buyer (and first person in my entire family to buy a house) she also helped eased a lot of anxiety/doubts and provided the appropriate advice where needed. Thank you so much!

  We used Kaz for our recent purchase of a home. Sarah Sun was a great support and promptly responded to all our questions or requests. She provided prompt advice during the most stressful part of the process - contract negotiations - and was on hand for phone calls as we got the contract executed. She helped negotiate and explain one key change that gave us the comfort to go ahead with the purchase. From there everything was smooth sailing.

  Nishma and the team at Kaz Conveyancing did an excellent job on our property purchase. She was everything you’d expect from a top-tier solicitor – proactive, highly responsive, risk-aware, and always bringing thoughtful ideas (her suggestion to structure the deposit post-settlement was particularly clever).Thank you again for your support — we would recommend her 100%.

  We cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. From the very beginning of our home buying journey, Sarah was absolutely amazing and made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier and manageable. She was incredibly prompt, professional, and timely with every step of the process. No question was ever too small, and she always took the time to explain everything clearly, which gave us so much reassurance as first-time buyers. Her communication was exceptional. she kept us informed throughout, responded quickly, and made sure we understood exactly what was happening at every stage. What really stood out was how supportive and proactive she was. Buying a property can feel overwhelming, but Sarah made us feel confident and looked after the entire way through. She genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for us and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. We are so grateful for all of her help and guidance and truly don’t think the experience would have been the same without her. If you are looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, efficient, caring, and incredibly reliable, we would recommend Sarah without hesitation. Thank you so much for making this experience such a positive one!
