Step 1: Free Consult
We start our conveyancing process for first home buyers with an initial consultation. During this consultation we will gather information about your property and provide you with a run down of the process and what you can expect.
Step 2: Contract Review
We will review the contract of sale provided by the seller's solicitor. We will identify any issues or clauses that may be problematic and require negotiation. We will also advise you of any additional costs associated with the purchase, such as stamp duty and legal fees to ensure there are no suprises at settlement.
Step 3: Searches
Next, we will conduct various searches to uncover any issues or liabilities associated with the property. These may include title searches, zoning searches, and other searches as required. We will also check for any outstanding debts or mortgages on the property.
Step 4: Property Inspection
We will arrange for a property inspection. This will help identify any issues with the property that may affect the price or your decision to buy the property.
Step 5: Exchange
Once the contract of sale has been agreed upon and signed by both parties, it is time to exchange contracts. We will handle the exchange of contracts, which involves sending a copy of the signed contract to the seller's solicitor and receiving a copy of the seller's signed contract in return.
Step 6: Settlement
On the day of settlement, we will arrange for the payment of the purchase price and transfer of ownership of the property. We will also ensure that all relevant fees and taxes are paid and that the property is registered in your name.
