Buying a Property?
Have the Contract Reviewed Before You Commit
Secure Transfers reviews your conveyancing documents and explains the key terms in clear, plain English before you sign.
A contract review is especially useful when you are:
- preparing to make an offer
- considering an auction property
- buying an apartment or owners corporation property
- buying off the plan
- purchasing an investment property
- unfamiliar with the Victorian property process
Buying at Auction?
Arrange your contract review before auction day where possible. Auction purchases in Victoria have different conditions to private sales, and buyers usually have less ability to change terms after bidding is successful.
Conveyancing When Buying Property in Victoria
Secure Transfers can assist from pre-purchase through to settlement.
Depending on your transaction, this may include reviewing the Contract of Sale and Section 32, confirming key dates, completing identity and authorisation requirements, preparing duty documents, reviewing property searches and coordinating settlement.
We also liaise with the seller’s representative and, where needed, your lender, broker or agent.
Buying a House, Apartment or Land?
Contact us early, especially if you have not yet signed the contract.
Selling Property in Victoria
Secure Transfers can assist with gathering information, preparing sale documents and working with your agent throughout the process.
After a sale is agreed, we manage the conveyancing through to settlement, including communication with the buyer’s representative, adjustments and coordination with financial institutions where required.
Some transactions require additional attention. Owners corporation properties need relevant disclosure, and owner-builder work may create extra obligations depending on the circumstances.
Let us know early about any unusual ownership, building work or issues that may affect the sale documents.
Buying Your First Home in Victoria?
Your first property purchase involves new terms like Contract of Sale, Section 32, settlement, adjustments, duty and title.
We explain each stage in simple language and guide you on what documents or information are needed.
Found a Property?
Send us your Contract of Sale and Section 32 before signing if possible.
Conveyancing for Off-the-Plan and Investment Purchases
Off-the-Plan Property
Off-the-plan purchases are made before construction and title completion. Contracts often include special terms about plans, construction changes, subdivision and settlement timing. Reviewing the contract early helps you understand these conditions before committing.
Secure Transfers can assist with conveyancing and duty matters within your transaction.
Investment Property
Investment conveyancing follows the same core process, with additional considerations around ownership structure, tax and future use.
We manage the conveyancing process for your purchase or sale.
Tax, ownership structure, capital gains and investment strategy should be discussed with a qualified adviser.
Transferring Property Without a Standard Sale
Property ownership can change without a traditional sale.
A transfer may occur when:
- ownership changes between spouses or partners
- a family member receives an interest in a property
- an owner is added or removed
- co-ownership arrangements change
- other related-party transfers are required
Secure Transfers can explain the process, prepare transfer documents within scope and assist with duty requirements.
From Documents to Settlement
Every property matter has its own details, although many Victorian conveyancing transactions involve a similar group of tasks.
Depending on your matter, Secure Transfers may assist with:
- reviewing or preparing the Contract of Sale and Section 32
- checking title and relevant property information
- explaining important conveyancing terms and contractual dates
- completing identity and client-authorisation requirements
- preparing relevant Victorian duty documentation
- communicating with the other party's conveyancer or solicitor
- liaising with your bank, lender, mortgage broker or agent when required
- preparing settlement figures and applicable adjustments
- coordinating electronic settlement and land-transfer documentation
- confirming completion of settlement
The exact work required depends on whether you are buying, selling or transferring property and on the terms of the individual transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
A conveyancer handles property transfers, including reviewing contracts, checking title details, preparing transfer and duty documents, liaising with banks and agents, and coordinating settlement and ownership registration.
Contact a conveyancer as soon as you receive the Contract of Sale and Section 32, ideally before signing, so you can understand terms and avoid committing without advice.
Yes. A review helps you understand key terms, dates and risks before you are legally bound, and may highlight issues needing clarification or further investigation.
A Section 32 is a seller disclosure document required in Victoria, providing key property information such as title details, mortgages, easements, zoning and outgoings before a contract is signed.
Yes. Auction purchases are binding with limited cooling-off rights, so reviewing the contract beforehand ensures you understand obligations before bidding.
Costs vary depending on transaction type and complexity. Secure Transfers provides upfront pricing on request, excluding government charges and third-party disbursements.
Settlement timing is set by the contract, not a fixed rule. It varies by agreement, and we manage requirements to ensure settlement occurs on the agreed date.
