 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience Lawlab offers is excellent. To get started, using the Rundl platform is a breeze and is backed up by great service if you need to call to clarify anything.

The process of buying a property can move quick, so having someone assigned to your case and undertaking a contract review to protect your interests and alert you to any risks whilst considering a property is invaluable. Once comfortable, whether that is placing an offer based off the contract or during a cooling off period, the conveyancing experience is smooth and easy.

Communication is clear receiving notifications by email alerting you to log in to Rundl and view messages on your case. Whether it is uploading or downloading documents, the process is simple and there are guides to help you understand the conveyancing process. Lawlab also provide advice to protect your fianancial safety given the need to exchange large amounts of money to a real estate agent or Lawlab themselves, plus insurance considerations on acceptance of an offer.

Once settlement is complete, nice to get a phonecall advising of the successful settlement, documents showing all the transactions involved etc.

Thanks for providing a smooth and simple professional experience electronically and via the people involved.

We’re truly grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Samuel and Lawlab to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient conveyancing team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wynona is a powerhouse – She stopped a bully on settlement day!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is my second business property sale with Lawlab Melbourne, and I cannot recommend Wynona enough. While the process is usually smooth, you really learn the value of your conveyancer when things go wrong.
On the morning of settlement (at 7:30 AM!), the purchaser turned into a bully. He was on the property prematurely and tried to force a $1,000 price reduction over a missing piece of scrap metal. I was incredibly stressed, but Wynona stepped in immediately. She consulted his solicitor, had the purchaser removed from the property for trespassing, and ensured settlement went through on our terms.
If you want a conveyancer who will actually fight for you and protect you from unreasonable tactics, ask for Wynona. She turned a nightmare morning into a successful sale. Thank you!

Melbourne conveyancing made straightforward

Melbourne’s property market moves quickly, particularly when properties are sold at auction or attract competing offers. Having an experienced property lawyer ready to review the contract and Section 32 statement can help you make informed decisions before signing or bidding.

Buying property in Melbourne

Before signing a contract or bidding at auction, you should understand the contract terms, the Section 32 vendor statement and any issues that may affect the property or your proposed use of it.

Our Melbourne conveyancing lawyers can assist with:

Reviewing the contract of sale and Section 32 statement.
Identifying unusual terms, special conditions and potential risks.
Advising on finance, building and pest inspection conditions where applicable.
Recommending amendments before you sign.
Explaining auction and private-sale requirements.
Coordinating searches and enquiries.
Liaising with your lender, mortgage broker and real estate agent.
Calculating settlement adjustments and funds required.
Completing your electronic settlement and transfer of ownership.

Auction purchases are generally unconditional and do not provide a cooling-off period, so it is especially important to arrange a contract review, finance approval and inspections before bidding.

What is a Section 32 vendor statement?

A Section 32 statement contains important information about a Victorian property, including matters affecting the title such as mortgages, covenants and easements, as well as zoning, outgoings and other prescribed disclosures.

The seller must give the signed Section 32 statement to the buyer before the buyer signs the contract. If the statement is inaccurate or incomplete, the buyer may have rights to withdraw from the sale or take other legal action.

Buyers should have both the Section 32 statement and contract reviewed before signing or bidding. Sellers should arrange preparation early enough to avoid delaying the sales campaign.

Some frequently asked questions

A conveyancer manages the legal and administrative work required to transfer ownership of a property. This can include preparing or reviewing the contract and Section 32 statement, undertaking searches, managing deadlines, calculating adjustments and completing settlement.
Lawlab provides these services through experienced property lawyers who can also advise on legal issues beyond the routine transfer process.

A cooling-off period of three clear business days generally applies to private sales of residential property and small rural property. It begins on the day the buyer signs the contract.

Cooling-off rights do not apply in every situation, including most auction purchases and sales entered into within three clear business days before or after an auction. If a buyer cools off, the seller may retain $100 or 0.2% of the purchase price, whichever is greater.
