Selling Real Estate

The Sale of Land Act requires a vendor (seller) of real estate to provide specific information about the property being sold to a prospective purchaser. This is what is known as a Section 32 Vendor’s Statement.

Low Cost Conveyancing Services can compile a legally binding Contract of Sale incorporating a Section 32 Statement as well as any other such legal documentation required for the Transfer of Title. We will check all necessary financial adjustments, attend settlement on your behalf and co-ordinate the relevant parties to ensure the transaction progresses smoothly.

We have a simple ‘tick and flick’ checklist to enable us to compile an accurate contract and Section 32 Statement.

All that you need to do is to make sure that you return the easy-to-use documentation that we send to you. Important information that you might have, that will assist us in getting the job done more quickly, includes:-
We can purchase documentation that you are unable to provide.

Certificates

Copies of your Title in your name (and subdivision plans, if applicable), council rates notices and water rates instalments should be provided.

An easement is any area on your property, which is available for access by the water authority, or any other authority.

Does more than one water authority affect your property? Do you have water rights affecting your rural or semi rural property?
