September 18, 2013 12:21 am Comments Off on Deposits The standard 10% deposit is usually payable when a contract is signed, but is often postponed for 3 to 7 days.

September 17, 2013 11:00 pm Comments Off on No Office Meetings NecessaryThese days, most clients prefer the convenience of "dealing from a distance". Phone, fax, email and post allow us to complete even the most complex of conveyancing matters without the need for personal attendance.
Consumers just don't have the time
Who has the time to attend appointments these days? And who really wants to anyway? Our clients are not required to attend in person at our offices for anything.
Where are you during business hours?
Some of our clients live a short walk from our office, and yet they prefer to deal with us by phone, fax, email and post. This is because most of them work in other areas, and don't return home until after hours.
Interstate or abroad?
We have many clients who reside interstate or overseas, and who rely on us for their conveyancing. As a law firm, we are able to advise on matters such as the execution of documents in different jurisdictions, and to arrange Powers of Attorney where appropriate.
Keen to meet face-to-face?
Some clients do like face-to-face contact, and personal appointments are always accommodated.
Full Lawyer Representation

We are well experienced in handling estate agents, and ensuring fairness for purchaser and vendor clients alike.
When you engage Lawyers Conveyancing, you are safe in the knowledge that you have full legal representation, and that there are no conflicting interests.
Pre-Purchase Advice Services
September 17, 2013 11:00 am Comments Off on Pre-Purchase Advice ServicesLawyers Conveyancing offers the most comprehensive pre-purchase document checking service in Victoria.
Totally independent and reliable
As discussed under "Full solicitor representation" above, too many conveyancing practitioners are distracted by "referral" arrangements with estate agents, and cannot offer objective independent legal advice. (Few are prepared to incur the wrath of an estate agent by advising a client to cancel the deal.)
If we believe the purchase is problematic, we'll tell you. We'll help you to cancel it too, if necessary!
We back it up in writing
Our comprehensive advice, provided by a qualified legal practitioner, and confirmed in writing by a prompt email, has set a new industry standard.
Priority service
We are aware of the pressures experienced by home-buyers, and pre-purchase checking is always attended to as a priority.
