Property Law

The purchase or sale of a house, home unit or vacant land is likely to be one of the most important financial transactions you will make. The process of moving ownership of real estate from one person's name to another is simply called conveyancing. Although it can appear relatively straight forward it is frequently complicated. Moreover, complications and differences arise often enough to justify the employment of professionals. Whether you are buying or selling, it is an important investment decision and the terms and conditions attaching to that decision have to be right and they have to be right the first time.

We are absolutely committed to providing you with the best possible service, any and every time you contact us.

Conveyancing

At Delaney & Delaney Solicitors, our residential conveyancing involves the following steps:

1. Checking the contract, noting all of the important terms and conditions, noting particularly important dates such as Finance Approval Date or Building/Pest Inspection Date and Settlement dates and confirming with you that you fully understand and are happy with those conditions:
2. Liaising with the Real Estate Agent involved confirming deposit amount[
3. Performing searches in respect of the property being purchased. These include Title Search, Plan, Rates, Land Tax and can involve numerous other Government Authorities including Main Roads, Contaminated Land Registry, Queensland Electricity Commission, Energex, Powerlink, Queensland Railways, the Supreme Court for any proceedings against the seller, bankruptcy listings and the ASIC (to make searches about a company and any charges thereof);
4. Liaising with financiers in order to have the right funds available at settlement;
5. Preparation and signing of Transfer documents and financial documents;
6. Attending at settlement to ensure that a proper transfer from one owner to the new owner is exchanged for the balance of money due.

Commercial Conveyancing cost involves many of the same steps, but often on a much larger scale and involves additional issues such as ensuring compliance with additional legislation: for example, an asbestos audit.
