Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a conveyancer and a property lawyer?

While both conveyancers and property lawyers handle the legal transfer of property, a property lawyer can provide a wider range of legal services.

If a dispute or legal issue arises during your transaction, a lawyer can represent you in court and offer advice beyond the standard conveyancing process.

At Matthies Lawyers, we ensure that any complexities are managed in-house, giving you comprehensive support.

What costs are involved in the conveyancing process?

In addition to our fixed-fee conveyancing services, there are other costs involved, such as government fees, stamp duty, and disbursements (e.g., property searches, registration fees).

We will provide you with a clear breakdown of all expected costs upfront, so there are no surprises.

How long does the conveyancing process take?

Typically, the conveyancing process takes between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the transaction and any issues that may arise.

Our team will keep you informed throughout the process, ensuring everything proceeds smoothly and on time.

Can I cancel a property purchase after signing the Contract of Sale?

Yes, under certain conditions. In Victoria, buyers have a 3-day cooling-off period after signing a Contract of Sale, during which they can cancel the purchase.

However, some penalties may apply. Our legal team will guide you through your rights and options before and after signing the contract to ensure you’re making informed decisions.
