Conveyancers are specialists who have undertaken formal education and are therefore qualified to provide expert advice in relation to matters of conveyancing law. Conveyancers do not handle other legal matters such as criminal matters, personal injury claims and Family Law.
This means that the attention of your conveyancer is focused purely on property.
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership. Whether you’re buying or selling, it ensures all contracts are correct, titles are clean, and your interests are protected from start to finish.
Settlement is when your transaction is finalised and the purchase funds are exchanged for the title to the property. If you are buying your home this is the day you will receive the keys (generally a very exciting day!)
On average, conveyancing takes 6–8 weeks. However, it can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, responsiveness of parties, and property type.

No. An offer and acceptance is not legally binding until a contract is exchanged. However, it can be a good idea to have a preliminary check of the contract. There may be something in the contract that may influence the price you are willing to offer.
If you are buying at Auction, it is more important to have the contract reviewed, as after the Auction, there can be no amendments to the contract conditions.
At Impero Conveyancing, we offer a free contract review service to provide you with that extra peace of mind before you negotiate the price.
A cooling-off period, is a period of 5 business days from the date your contracts are exchanged. Within this 5 day period, the purchaser has the opportunity to finalise their finance, arrange pest or building inspections or any other due diligence they may require for the property. If the purchaser pulls out during this 5 day period they forfeit 0.25% of the purchase price to the vendor.
In a usual process of a sale/purchase transaction, there is allowed a 5 business day cooling off period. A 66W Certificate is a certificate signed by your Conveyancer that is provided to the Vendor on exchange that waives the rights to the cooling off period. The certificate is a statement that your Conveyancer has explained to you what it means to waive your rights to the cooling off period.
You’ll need your ID, your rates notice, details of any mortgage, and a few other key documents we’ll walk you through at the start.
