Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?

Solicitors hold law degrees and can provide advice on all legal matters related to your property transaction. Conveyancers are licensed for conveyancing work specifically and must refer you to a solicitor if broader legal issues arise. At BT Legal, your residential conveyancing is handled by qualified solicitors, meaning you have comprehensive legal support throughout without needing to engage additional professionals if complications emerge.

How long does the residential conveyancing process take?

Most residential conveyancing Melbourne transactions are completed within 60-90 days from contract signing to settlement. However, timelines vary based on contract terms, finance approval, and whether you’re part of a property chain. We provide realistic timeframe estimates during your initial consultation.

What are my obligations beyond conveyancing fees?

Buyers must budget for stamp duty (typically your largest cost), building and pest inspections, mortgage registration fees if borrowing, and property insurance from contract signing. First home buyers may qualify for stamp duty concessions. Sellers generally have fewer additional costs but may need to pay outstanding rates up to settlement. We provide a comprehensive cost breakdown during consultation.

How does the contract review process work?

Our solicitors conduct a thorough examination of your Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor’s Statement, reviewing all terms, conditions, and vendor disclosures. We provide detailed verbal advice explaining the contract in plain language, highlight any concerns, and advise whether we recommend negotiating amendments before you sign.

Am I dealing with qualified and credible professionals?

Absolutely. BT Legal’s residential conveyancing team consists of fully licensed solicitors and conveyancers registered with the Law Institute of Victoria. We maintain active membership with the Law Institute of Victoria, Victorian Legal Services Board, Legal Practitioners’ Liability Committee and also carry comprehensive professional indemnity insurance. We also operate trust accounts under strict regulatory oversight. Your matter is managed personally by experienced legal professionals based in Melbourne.

What is included in a Section 32 Vendor’s Statement?

The Section 32 discloses important property information including title details, planning and zoning overlays, easements or covenants, outstanding rates and charges, building permits, owners corporation information (for units), and required property certificates. Our residential conveyancing solicitors prepare comprehensive Section 32 statements for sellers and thoroughly review them for buyers.
