F.A.Q.
Where is Sargeants Bass Coast Conveyancing’s headquarters?
Although our conveyancing services are based at Cowes on Phillip Island, we work throughout Victoria with a particular focus on the state’s east coast and hinterland.
Where can we find your conveyancers?
We have conveyancers at Cowes, conveyancers at Inverloch, provide conveyancing services at Grantville and commercial and residential conveyancers at Wonthaggi. If you’re buying or selling at Metung our conveyancers can help, as can our Paynesville conveyancers. Our business and residential conveyancers work at Lakes Entrance, we have conveyancers at Bairnsdale and Orbost also benefits from our conveyancing services.
What is a Section 32 Statement and why is it important?
A Section 32 Statement basically details all the ‘fine print’ about the property you are purchasing, including a plan of the land, easements, services connected and any recent building approvals. There are many other important details in a Section 32 and our conveyancers will carefully read this document to ensure you are buying land or property that is worth its price, with minimal restrictions and no encumbrances. You can then decide if you want to proceed with purchasing the land or property. The Section 32 can also help you determine the value of your offer.
What does a conveyancer do?
Conveyancers take the stress out of buying and selling land and property, ensuring title transfers proceed smoothly and that buyers and sellers comply with all contract conditions.
What do your conveyancing services include?
Sargeants Bass Coast’s services include but certainly aren’t limited to:
- Title searches.
- Title transfers.
- Examining Section 32 Statements to ensure there are no encumbrances and/or restrictions on the property which might affect its value.
- Ensuring compliance with any contractual conditions, for example building and pest inspection or finance.
- Ensuring the appropriate party has paid all applicable charges such as land tax, rates and water consumption charges.
- Organising and facilitating payment of fees and charges.
- Preparing legal documents for the transaction.
What are the costs of engaging conveyancers from Sargeants Bass Coast?
No two property transactions are the same and therefore costs for our conveyancing services vary. However, Sargeants Bass Coast’s fees are fixed and all inclusive. There are no hidden costs or surprises. Our fees include all disbursements, GST, title searches and attending settlement on your behalf. There are no hidden costs and our fees are not payable until settlement. Please contact our Victorian-based conveyancers if you have further questions or to discuss your next property transaction.
