If you are looking to sell property and need a conveyancer for selling, it can be difficult to know where to begin. The team at SLA Conveyancing can help guide you through the process of selling a property by providing practical advice and assistance with the required legal documentation.
One of the first steps when selling a property is preparing the Contract for Sale of Land and Section 32 Vendor Statement.
The contract includes the legal terms and conditions of the sale, along with details of any inclusions, exclusions and special requirements. This may include settlement timeframes, conditions linked to another property purchase or other terms specific to your circumstances.
There are several aspects of a contract that may require consideration when selling a property, so it is important to discuss your requirements before proceeding. Before selling a property, you also need to understand your disclosure responsibilities, as failing to disclose required information may create issues during the transaction.
Once a purchaser has been found and the contract has been signed and becomes legally binding, the purchaser will usually pay a deposit.
The deposit is generally held in the trust account of the real estate agent or authorised stakeholder until it can be released according to the requirements of the contract.
Settlement is the stage where the purchase funds are exchanged, ownership is transferred and the property is handed over to the purchaser. Settlement is scheduled according to the Contract of Sale. During the period between signing the contract and settlement, SLA Conveyancing will liaise with your bank regarding the release of any mortgage held over the property.
You should also arrange the disconnection of electricity and other services before settlement. Before settlement, adjustments are made to account for items such as council rates, water rates, land tax and strata fees where applicable.
Once settlement is completed, the real estate agent will be authorised to release the deposit to you, less any applicable fees.
