Extra clauses added by the seller or agent, read line by line.

A missing or wrong Form 2

It can give you the right to end the contract. We check every certificate.

Body corporate surprises

The guide

Buying a property in Queensland: what your conveyancer does

Conveyancing is the legal work of moving a property into your name. For a Queensland buyer it means checking the contract and the seller’s disclosure before you sign, managing the conditions until the contract is unconditional, and settling on the due date. The Queensland Government’s guide to the contract of sale is at qld.gov.au; doing it properly for your purchase is what we do, for buyers in Brisbane, Ipswich, Springfield, the Gold Coast and across Queensland.

What we check before you sign

  • Title search and registered plan
  • Easements, covenants and other encumbrances
  • The seller’s Form 2 and its certificates
  • Zoning and council notices
  • Body corporate certificate, levies and by-laws (units)
  • Price, deposit and who holds the deposit
  • Finance condition and its due date
  • Building and pest condition and its due date
  • Pool safety certificate, or notice of none
  • Special conditions added by the seller or agent
  • Tenancy details if the property is leased
  • Settlement date and how it’s set
  • Rates and water notices for adjustments

Houses and land vs units and townhouses

Buying a lot in a body corporate means taking on its levies, sinking fund and by-laws. The seller’s Form 2 must attach a Form 33 body corporate certificate and the community management statement, and we also review the body corporate records for special levies, disputes and planned major works. That extra work is why a unit or townhouse purchase is $1,320 and a house or land purchase is $1,100. More in our guide to buying with a body corporate.

Cooling-off, conditions and the Form 2

On most private sales you have five business days to cool off, starting when you receive the contract signed by both sides. End the contract in that time and the seller can keep up to 0.25% of the price. There is no cooling-off at auction. Your finance and building and pest conditions run on their own dates. And if the seller didn’t give you a Form 2 before you signed, or it’s wrong about something that matters, you may be able to end the contract before settlement. We tell you which rights apply to you and when each one runs out.

Settlement and transfer duty

Settlement usually happens electronically through PEXA on the date in the contract. Before then we run the final searches, calculate the rates and water adjustments, prepare the transfer and lodge your transfer duty return. Eligible first home buyers pay no transfer duty on an established home valued at $700,000 or less, and new homes and vacant land have their own first home concession. We check what applies to you before settlement.
