Questions? We've Got Answers
Every property purchase always comes with questions. Here are clear, straightforward answers to the ones buyers ask us most often.
Do I need a conveyancer to buy a property in Victoria?
It isn’t a strict legal requirement, but having your contract reviewed by a conveyancer before you sign helps protect you from costly surprises. It’s recommended for any property purchase, including off-the-plan.
What is a cooling-off period, and how long do I have?
Buyers of residential property in Victoria who aren’t purchasing at auction generally have a short cooling-off period after signing, during which they can withdraw. There are exceptions, so it’s best to confirm your specific rights with us before you sign.
What should I know before buying off the plan?
Off-the-plan contracts involve extra risks, such as sunset clauses and possible changes between the plans and the finished property. We review these contracts and explain what they mean for you before you sign.
Am I eligible for the First Home Owner Grant?
Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and current requirements, so we can’t give an answer. Get in touch, and we’ll talk you through what applies to you.
Do I have to pay stamp duty when buying?
In most cases, yes, stamp duty (land transfer duty) applies to property purchases in Victoria, though concessions may apply depending on your circumstances. We can help you understand what applies to your purchase.
What happens on settlement day when I’m buying?
Settlement is when ownership officially transfers to you, and the remaining funds are exchanged between parties. We manage this on your behalf, so everything is completed correctly and on time, and you can collect your keys.
What if an issue comes up during the buying process?
If something is flagged during our searches or contract review, we’ll explain what it means and the options available to you. That way, you can make an informed decision before settlement.
