Conveyancing for Sellers
Selling a property involves more than just finding a buyer — there are several legal and financial steps that must be handled correctly to ensure a smooth transaction. At Shamac Lawyers, we guide you through each stage of the conveyancing process with clarity and care, making sure your obligations are met and your interests protected. Below is an overview of the key steps involved when selling your property.
Preparing the Section 32 Statement
We draft a legally compliant Section 32 Vendor Statement with all required disclosures — zoning, easements, rates, and encumbrances. Errors here can delay or even void your sale.
Drafting the Contract of Sale
We prepare or review the contract, ensuring terms like deposit amounts, settlement dates, and inclusions/exclusions protect your interests.
Negotiations & Signing
We advise you on offers and conditions. Once the contract is signed, it becomes legally binding (subject to any agreed conditions).
Pre-Settlement Preparation
We calculate adjustments for rates, water, and other outgoings. If you have a mortgage, we liaise with your bank to ensure it is discharged on settlement.
Settlement Day
Through PEXA electronic settlement, the buyer’s funds are transferred, your mortgage (if any) is paid out, and legal ownership passes to the buyer. You walk away with settlement funds in your account.

Conveyancing for Buyers
Buying a property is an exciting step, but it comes with key legal and financial obligations. At Shamac Lawyers, we guide you through each stage — protecting your rights, reducing risks, and ensuring a smooth path to settlement.
Pre-Contract Review
Before you sign, we review the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement to identify hidden risks, unfair terms, or missing disclosures.
Signing & Cooling-Off
We explain your rights under the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic), including the cooling-off period, finance conditions, and building/pest clauses.
Searches & Checks
We conduct property searches to uncover zoning restrictions, easements, planning overlays, and unpaid rates.
Finance & Stamp Duty
We liaise with your bank or broker, confirm funds are ready, and calculate stamp duty through the State Revenue Office of Victoria, including concessions for first-home buyers.
Settlement Preparation
We prepare transfer documents, adjust rates and outgoings, and arrange electronic settlement via PEXA.
Settlement Day
Funds are transferred, ownership is registered with the Land Titles Office, and you receive the keys to your new property.
Buying a Property? Here’s What You Need to Know

Avoid These Common Conveyancing Mistakes
Many property transactions in Victoria run into unnecessary delays—or worse, financial loss—due to simple yet costly errors. Here are some of the most common conveyancing mistakes buyers and sellers make:
Signing a contract without legal review: Without a professional review, you risk agreeing to unfair terms or hidden costs buried in the fine print.
Forgetting to budget for all costs: Many buyers overlook stamp duty, transfer fees, legal charges, and adjustments—leading to unexpected financial pressure at settlement.
Missing or incomplete paperwork: Even one missing document can delay settlement, frustrate your buyer or seller, and potentially cost you penalties.
How to avoid them? Partner with a qualified and experienced conveyancing solicitor in Melbourne. At Shamac Lawyers we handle the legal details from start to finish—so your property transaction stays on track, on time, and legally sound.
