Property conveyancing services in Pakenham.


Frequently Asked Questions
What’s involved in the conveyancing process?
The conveyancing process has just one end goal – getting the property transferred (legally!) from one the seller to the buyer. Pakenham conveyancing begins when the contract for sale has been received. In most instances, this is when the seller’s agent has sent a signed copy of the contract to the purchasing party’s conveyancing agent. Once this has been signed by both parties, conveyancing work begins to transfer the ownership of the property to the other party.
The conveyancing process usually involves the following steps:
- Prepare, clarify, and lodge relevant legal documents
- Research the background of the property and title certificate.
- Calculate and inform you of any adjustments arising from rates or taxes.
- Ensuring on-time payment of land tax, water consumption charges and other relevant dues.
- Settle the property on your behalf
- Make sure any agreed-upon conditions within the contract are then satisfied.
How long does conveyancing take?
The conveyancing process will be dependent on the parties involved. As a general guide, Entry Conveyancing speculates the standard settlement period lasting anywhere between 4 – 6 weeks following the exchange of contracts. However, alternative settlement terms can be negotiated between the buyer and the seller prior to confirming the contract. If both parties are willing to settle over a shorter conveyancing period, then our Pakenham Conveyancing team will ensure everything is ready to make this happen.

When should I engage the services of a conveyancer in Pakenham?
If you’re buying a property in Pakenham, it’s important to discuss your property purchase with a conveyancer as soon as possible – preferably before signing the contract of sale. The next step is to discuss your intention to purchase with your mortgage broker or lender. From there, your conveyancer can negotiate the contract of sale before you sign – if you have already signed, we may be able to negotiate within the cooling-off period.

Yes – at Entry Conveyancing, we operate with in house solicitors who specialise in property law and conveyancing. Our conveyancing lawyers are experienced in dealing with all matters regarding property legalities and can provide expert assistance across all types of properties in Pakenham.
Can I do my own conveyancing?
From the outside, conveyancing is the simple transfer of land title from a seller to a buyer. So, why shouldn’t you be able to do a property transaction yourself? Simply put, you can do your own conveyancing if you so wish; it is not a legal requirement to have a conveyancer. However, conveyancing is an arduous process, and one false move along the way can see you face hefty fines or even lose your deposit on your Pakenham property as professional indemnity insurance does not apply.
It is always worth paying a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to do the conveyancing on your behalf. The cost you save by doing your own is marginal compared to other fees you have to pay, plus you run the risk of missing vital steps in the process, and you are not insured in case something goes wrong.
