Frequently Asked Questions
What is conveyancing, and why is it necessary?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It involves preparing and reviewing contracts, conducting property searches, ensuring compliance with state regulations and facilitating the financial settlement.
Whether buying or selling a property, a conveyancer ensures that the transaction is legally valid, protecting both parties from potential disputes or unexpected legal issues. In Australia, conveyancing laws differ between states, meaning buyers and sellers in NSW and QLD must adhere to specific legal requirements.
What are the key differences between NSW and QLD conveyancing?
The main difference between NSW and QLD conveyancing is the contract process and cooling-off period. In NSW, buyers usually sign a Contract of Sale first, and then conduct property searches, while in QLD, most searches are conducted before the contract is signed.
Additionally, NSW has a five-business-day cooling-off period for private property sales, allowing buyers to withdraw under specific conditions, whereas in QLD, the cooling-off period is only five calendar days. QLD also uses the REIQ contract for most property transactions, while NSW typically relies on Law Society-approved contracts.
How long does the conveyancing process take in NSW and QLD?
The conveyancing process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, but the timeframe can vary based on contract conditions, property searches and financing approval.
In NSW and QLD, standard settlement periods range from 30 to 60 days, unless the buyer and seller agree to alternative terms. Delays can occur due to finance approval issues, contract negotiations or complications arising from property searches, so it’s important to ensure all necessary documents are in order well before settlement.
