Conveyancing in Craigieburn

Most property transactions are routine. Some aren't — a sale by an estate, a transfer after a separation, property held in a trust, an off-the-plan contract with problems, or a section 32 that doesn't say what it should. Those are the transactions we take on in Craigieburn and across Melbourne's north, along with conveyancing for clients we already act for — handled by lawyers from contract to settlement.

Buying or selling in Craigieburn, and want a lawyer on it?

Because we are a law firm, the conveyancing sits alongside the rest of your affairs: the estate that is selling, the property settlement that is transferring title, the duty that may or may not be payable. We review the contract and section 32 before you commit, tell you plainly what is in them, and act through to settlement. Our fee is quoted once we have seen the contract, so it reflects the work your transaction actually needs.

Buying or selling a property in Craigieburn often means managing a chain of transactions—your sale completing before you can settle on your next place, or vice versa. Local residents typically juggle inspection reports, settlement dates, and mortgage approvals while staying on top of paperwork that can feel overwhelming. Before you start, gather your contract of sale, any building and pest inspection reports, your loan approval letter from the bank, and details of any existing mortgage on a property you're selling. Write down key dates: when you need to exchange contracts, when settlement is due, and when you plan to move. We can walk through each step with you, explain what documents mean, and manage the legal work so you know exactly where things stand.

Conveyancing in Craigieburn: We act for buyers and sellers throughout Craigieburn and across Melbourne's north, and settlement is handled electronically, so nothing requires you to travel. If you would rather sit down with someone, you're welcome at our Reservoir office.
We also act on conveyancing matters in: Attwood · Beveridge · Broadmeadows · Bundoora · Campbellfield.  Appointments online across Victoria, or in person at our Reservoir office.
Common questions

Conveyancing in Craigieburn — FAQs

What does conveyancing cost in Craigieburn?
We quote once we have seen the contract, so the fee reflects the work your transaction needs — an estate sale or a transfer after a separation is a different job from a straightforward purchase. Government fees and searches are passed on at cost, and everything is set out in writing before we start.
Should I use a lawyer or a conveyancer?
For a straightforward purchase, a conveyancer is often all you need. A lawyer is worth it when there is more going on — an estate, a separation, a trust or company buyer, a contract you are unsure about, or a dispute before settlement — because we can advise on the law around the transaction, not just complete it.
Can you review the contract before I bid or sign?
Yes, and this is the single most useful thing we do. Send us the contract and section 32 before auction day or before you sign. Once you have signed, your options narrow considerably.
Is stamp duty payable on my transfer?
It depends on who is transferring to whom, and why. Transfers after a separation or to a beneficiary can be exempt, while some family transfers are dutiable in full. Our stamp duty calculator gives an estimate for a purchase, and we will confirm the position for your transaction before anything is signed.
Do I need to come into the office?
No. Settlements are electronic and we can act for Craigieburn clients entirely online. Our Reservoir office is there if you would prefer to meet in person.
What should I do if the building inspection finds problems before I exchange contracts?
Note down what the inspector found and get quotes for repairs if needed. You can use this information to negotiate with the seller or decide whether to proceed. Write down your concerns and bring them to us—we can discuss how this might affect your position before you commit to the sale.
