Conveyancing in Kensington

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 Kensington and across Melbourne CBD & inner, along with conveyancing for clients we already act for — handled by lawyers from contract to settlement.

Buying or selling in Kensington, 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.

Kensington residents buying or selling typically juggle tight timelines with busy lives. Many are purchasing their first property or trading up in a competitive inner-city market, while others are managing rental investments or downsizing. The paperwork moves quickly once contracts are exchanged, and coordination with agents, lenders and title searches needs to happen in parallel. Before you sign anything, gather your ID, recent bank statements, and any title documents you have. If you're buying, your lender will have specific requirements. If selling, your agent will help you understand what needs disclosure. Either way, it pays to have someone go through the contract with you early—spot potential issues before they become problems.

Conveyancing in Kensington: We act for buyers and sellers throughout Kensington and across Melbourne CBD & inner, 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.

Common questions

Conveyancing in Kensington — FAQs

What does conveyancing cost in Kensington?
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 Kensington clients entirely online. Our Reservoir office is there if you would prefer to meet in person.
What should I do the moment I find a property I want to buy?
Don't sign anything yet. Get a copy of the contract from the agent and have it looked at before you commit. Write down any conditions you need—like a finance or inspection clause—because once you've signed, changing them becomes much harder. We can review the contract with you and flag what to think about before you go back to the agent.
