Conveyancing Lawyers Melbourne

Buying or selling property is a major transaction, and getting the legal side right matters. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling an investment property, buying commercial premises or transferring ownership, having experienced legal support can make the process much clearer.

Littlejohn Legal provides conveyancing services in Melbourne for residential and commercial property transactions, combining practical conveyancing assistance with broader property law expertise.

Conveyancing for Buyers and Sellers

Our conveyancing lawyers can assist throughout your property transaction, including:

• Contract of Sale and Section 32 reviews before you commit to a purchase

• Preparing contracts and Section 32 statements for property sellers

• Property title and relevant document searches

• Advice on special conditions and contractual requirements

• Buying and selling residential property

• Commercial property purchases and sales

• Property transfers and changes in ownership

• Liaising with lenders and the other party’s legal representatives

• Preparing settlement documentation and settlement figures

• Coordinating settlement and transfer of ownership

• Subdivisions and other property matters requiring additional legal advice

In Victoria, the Section 32 statement contains important information about matters affecting a property’s title, including mortgages, easements, covenants, zoning and certain outgoings. Buyers should consider having the Section 32 and Contract of Sale reviewed by their own legal practitioner before proceeding.

Buying Property? Get Legal Advice Before You Sign

If you’ve found a property you want to buy, it can be tempting to sign the contract and deal with the paperwork afterwards. But the contract sets out important terms of the transaction, including the purchase price, deposit, settlement arrangements and any special conditions.

Our Melbourne conveyancing lawyers can review the Contract of Sale and Section 32, explain the key terms in plain English and identify matters that may require further consideration before you proceed.

This can be particularly important for:

• Residential and investment properties

• Auctions and private sales

• Commercial property

• Off-the-plan purchases

• Properties with mortgages, easements or other title considerations

• Transactions involving unusual or negotiated contract conditions

If you’re about to make an offer or attend an auction, contact Littlejohn Legal to discuss a pre-purchase contract review.

Selling Property? We Can Help From Contract to Settlement

Selling a property involves more than finding a buyer. The Contract of Sale and Section 32 statement need to be properly prepared, and the transaction needs to be managed through to settlement.

Littlejohn Legal can assist property sellers with preparing and reviewing sale documentation, responding to enquiries, coordinating with the purchaser’s representative and completing the legal requirements for settlement.

Settlement is the stage at which the balance of the purchase price is paid and ownership of the property is transferred to the buyer.

Conveyancing With Broader Property Law Support

Not every property transaction is straightforward. A matter may involve a property transfer, subdivision, mortgage, guarantee, private lending arrangement, family transfer, commercial lease or property dispute.

As an established law firm with a broader property practice, Littlejohn Legal can provide legal advice where a conveyancing matter extends beyond the standard transfer of property.

That means you can speak with a legal team that understands the wider legal issues surrounding your property, rather than treating the conveyance as paperwork alone.
