Property Conveyancing Melbourne FAQs
How much does conveyancing cost in Melbourne?
Davis + Haven Legal offers fixed-fee conveyancing across Melbourne, so you know the cost upfront. Pricing depends on whether the property is residential or commercial, standard or off-the-plan, and whether a Section 27 request is involved. Request a quote for an exact figure.
How long does property settlement take in Victoria?
Most Melbourne property settlements take 30 to 90 days from the contract signing date. The exact period is negotiated in the Contract of Sale. All settlements in Victoria now occur electronically through PEXA.
Do I need a conveyancer or a property lawyer?
A licensed conveyancer handles standard residential property transactions. A property lawyer is needed for complex matters involving trusts, deceased estates, caveats, disputes or non-standard contracts. Davis + Haven Legal provides both under one roof.
What is a Section 32 and why does it matter?
A Section 32, or Vendor’s Statement, is a legal document the seller must give the buyer before signing a Contract of Sale. It discloses title details, zoning, rates, outgoings and any notices affecting the property. Review it with a conveyancer before you sign, not after.
Should I agree to a Section 27 deposit release?
A Section 27 request from the vendor asks you to release the deposit early, before settlement. Our team reviews each request against the vendor’s financial disclosure. Read our full Section 27 deposit release guide.
Can I use a Melbourne conveyancer for a property outside Melbourne?
Yes. We act for clients buying and selling property anywhere in Victoria. Settlement is handled electronically through PEXA, so location of the property doesn’t change the process.
Can you help with off-the-plan purchases?
Yes. Melbourne has a growing supply of off-the-plan apartment and townhouse developments. Our conveyancers review the special off-the-plan contract clauses, sunset dates, and plan of subdivision, all critical before you sign. Off-the-plan purchases also attract different stamp duty treatment.
