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 Northcote and across Melbourne's inner north, along with conveyancing for clients we already act for — handled by lawyers from contract to settlement.
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.
In Northcote, people often come to us when they're buying or selling a home—whether it's an established weatherboard, a unit, or an investment property. The process usually starts after an offer has been made and accepted. You'll need to gather your identification, any existing mortgage details if you're selling, and recent rates notices. We handle the title search, review contracts, and manage settlement. Many Northcote residents are moving for the first time, upsizing, or refinancing, and want someone to walk through the paperwork clearly. We work with your bank or lender, the real estate agent, and the other party's lawyer to get everything ready before you sign.
Send us the contract and section 32 before you sign. We'll tell you what's in it, and quote for acting on it.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
