Selling a Geelong property
When you decide to sell your Anglesea or Portarlington residential or commercial property, it is best to contact a property and conveyancing lawyer as soon as possible. To provide the best conveyancing services, we need to gather comprehensive and accurate instructions from you and obtain necessary documents and information from the relevant statutory authorities to prepare your Vendor’s Statement, otherwise called a Section 32. This can take up to 10 business days in some cases. Any error or omission in the Vendor’s Statement may enable the purchaser to terminate the Contract of Sale at any time up until settlement. Hence, your Vendor Statement must be accurate and complete to ensure an effective, timely property sale.
Information to provide to your property and conveyancing lawyer for a property sale:
- Copy of your rates notice and water authority notice
- Land tax assessment notices
- Owners corporation insurance policies or notices
- Building permits, final inspection certificates, certificate of occupancy, or builders warranty insurance
- Contract of sale from when you purchased the property
- Leases that may affect the property
- Orders or notices from a government authority regarding any works or levies on your property
- Original Certificate of Title if you do not have a mortgage on the property
- Your selling agent’s details
If you do not have all these documents or information, nor do you know where to start to obtain some of them, Cahill Rowe Conveyancing can assist in gathering them.
