Contract of Sale and Section 32 Reviews

Buying property? Understand the contract before signing

A Contract of Sale sets out the terms of a property transaction, including the purchase price, deposit, settlement arrangements and any special conditions.

The Section 32 vendor statement provides important information about the property, including matters relating to its title, easements, covenants, planning controls and outgoings. It does not replace other investigations into the property’s condition or suitability.

Reviewing these documents before signing can help you understand the transaction and identify issues that may need further attention.

Littlejohn Legal can review the relevant documentation, explain key provisions and advise on matters that may affect your decision to proceed.

This is particularly important when considering a property with unusual contractual conditions, an off-the-plan purchase or a transaction involving additional legal considerations.

Conveyancing From Contract to Settlement

A property transaction involves several stages, and the legal requirements will vary depending on whether you’re buying, selling or transferring property.

Littlejohn Legal can assist with the relevant legal work throughout the transaction, including:

1. Reviewing or preparing documents: Checking or preparing the Contract of Sale and applicable vendor statement.

2. Addressing legal requirements: Identifying contractual matters and documentation that require attention.

3. Coordinating the transaction: Liaising with the other parties involved in the legal process.

4. Preparing for settlement: Helping ensure the relevant legal documentation and settlement requirements are addressed.

5. Completing the transfer: Assisting with the legal requirements for the transfer of ownership.

Settlement is the stage at which the transaction is finalised and ownership is transferred in accordance with the agreed arrangements.

The steps and timeframes depend on the contract and the circumstances of the matter. Obtaining legal advice early can help you understand what needs to happen and when.
