Navigating the complexities of property transactions can be daunting, but with the right guidance and expertise, you can sail through the process smoothly.

Here are ten crucial aspects for successful conveyancing, ensuring a stress-free property transaction. Click each point to expand.

Having a qualified conveyancer or solicitor by your side is the first step to a hassle-free property transaction and a pillar of a successful conveyancing process.

At FNCC, our team of experts is well-versed in property law and will guide you through every stage, ensuring all legal documents are accurately prepared and reviewed.

A comprehensive Contract of Sale is essential.

It should detail the property description, price, terms, and conditions, along with all necessary disclosures and certificates.

You can also find a full list of the accompanying documentation that should be submitted with the Contract of Sale here.

Our team ensures every contract is meticulously crafted to protect your interests and comply with all legal requirements.

Buyers have a five-business-day cooling-off period to reconsider their purchase.

This time is crucial for conducting inspections and securing financing.

FNCC will keep you informed and ensure you understand your rights and obligations during this period.

Before finalising your purchase, it’s vital to conduct building, pest, and strata inspections (for units).

These inspections help uncover any potential issues with the property.

We can recommend trusted inspectors to provide you with detailed reports, ensuring you make an informed decision.

Pre-approval for financing is a must before signing any contract.

This step prevents complications if your loan is not approved after entering into the contract.

When you engage FNCC, we can liaise with your financial institution to ensure your finance approval is in place, giving you peace of mind.

Knowing the deposit amount and payment schedule is crucial to successful conveyancing.

Typically, a 10% deposit is required.

FNCC will manage the deposit payment process, ensuring it is securely paid into the real estate agent’s or solicitor’s trust account.

Performing essential searches and enquiries, such as title searches and council zoning certificates, is a critical step for successful conveyancing. 

These checks reveal any hidden issues or encumbrances affecting the property.

FNCC handles all these searches meticulously for you, ensuring there are no surprises.

Settlement is the final step where ownership transfers from the seller to the buyer.

FNCC coordinates all settlement details, ensuring all finances and documents are in order.

We manage the exchange of funds and registration of the transfer with NSW Land Registry Services, making the process seamless for you.

Adjustments for council rates, water rates, and other outgoings ensure both parties pay their fair share up to the settlement date.

FNCC calculates these adjustments accurately, ensuring a fair and transparent transaction for all parties involved.

Title insurance protects against potential issues such as fraud, unregistered easements, or defects in the title that may arise after settlement.

FNCC can guide you through the benefits of title insurance and help you obtain the right coverage for your property.
