What should I check before signing a Contract of Sale?
Important considerations include special conditions, easements, zoning restrictions, settlement terms, inclusions, and any clauses that may create additional obligations or financial risks.
Is conveyancing different for an investment property?
The conveyancing process is generally similar, but investment properties may involve additional considerations such as tenancy agreements, lease obligations, and ownership structures.
What happens if issues are discovered during property searches?
The impact depends on the nature of the issue. Some matters can be resolved before settlement, while others may require further investigation, negotiations, or changes to the transaction.
Do I need legal advice before bidding at an auction?
Yes. Successful auction bids typically create an unconditional contract. Reviewing the contract before auction day allows potential concerns to be identified before you become legally bound.
Can a settlement date be extended after contracts are exchanged?
In certain circumstances, parties may agree to extend the settlement date. Any changes should be documented appropriately to avoid misunderstandings or contractual disputes.
What is the difference between a conveyancer and a property lawyer?
A conveyancer generally handles the transfer process, while a property lawyer can also advise on legal issues such as disputes, complex contracts, ownership structures, caveats, and title concerns.
When is the best time to engage a property lawyer?
The ideal time is before signing or exchanging contracts. Early legal involvement allows potential risks and obligations to be reviewed before binding commitments are made.
