The Conveyancing Process

Conveyancing incorporates the process of transferring a title to property from one person or corporation to another.

If you are ready to purchase a property, we recommend the following actions before you sign a Contract:

• Arrange to consult a Mortgage broker to ascertain the amount of borrowing capacity you have and obtain pre-approval;
• Research the areas you wish to buy in and the estimated cost of property in the area. Visit local Real Estate Agents and decide on a property;
• Contact Astor Legal to preview the Contract and provide advice on the conditions, terms or covenants which may affect the property you wish to purchase. You will then be in a position to decide whether to proceed with a cooling-off purchase or unconditional exchange.
• The Deposit is paid, Contracts signed and you are then either in a cooling-off period or a binding Contract.
• We then consult your Lender and provide them with details of the property to be offered as security for the loan. We send out rate enquiries and requisitions on title and evaluate the replies. We keep you advised of the process, advise you of the stamp duty payable and estimated date for settlement.

Once you have decided to sell, contact Astor Legal to arrange preparation of a Contract for the sale of your property.

• Whilst this is under way, we recommend you decide on the Real Estate Agent you wish to use to sell your property or start your own preparations for advertising the property. You may wish to set up your own virtual tour and advertise on the net.
• Once the Agent is holding the Contract for marketing, you should discuss the best way of presenting your home or investment property with your agent.
• When the agent finds a buyer a price is negotiated, the Purchaser pays a deposit to indicate that he wishes to proceed. This can either be with or without a cooling-off period.
• Following exchange of Contracts, we arrange for any loan to be discharged or transferred on settlement.
• Before long, it is time to move. We remind you of some of the issues, which are easy to overlook to minimise the stress of this whole process.
• On the day of settlement we generally expect that you will be organised & packed ready to leave your current residence. Whilst you are preparing to relocate we will ensure your settlement proceeds and your instructions are carried out.

At Astor Legal we are with you, from beginning to end to ensure your matter is completed without fuss.

We pride ourselves on our service to our customers.
