Whether you’re buying, building or investing it’s so important to have a dedicated conveyancer ensuring settlement happens with ‘all the boxes ticked’, on time and according to your pre-set conditions.
The process
When buying an established home or a block of land to build on, your conveyancer will:
- Ensure your Contract of Sale contains the right clauses to make sure you’re getting a fair deal, and that all the conditions you’ve agreed to have been included.
- Coordinate the settlement date and time with your lender or mortgage broker and the seller’s settlement agent.
- Confirm information required such as title, rates, and zoning.
- Ensure all taxes and rates are paid and transferred as needed, including transfer duty.
- Prepare and verify all necessary documents required for settlement.
- Double-check that all inspections and other special conditions in the contract have been completed and ensure you are happy that the conditions have been met.
- Work with your mortgage broker, lender and real estate agent or land developer to make sure finance is in order and everyone is ready for settlement.
- Keep you informed about the progress of your settlement.
- Request funds to proceed to settlement.
- Electronically sign off and authorise your settlement when everything is ready and confirm when settlement is complete.

Who we are
At Resolve Conveyancing, good customer service doesn’t start and end with a successful settlement.

Let’s Resolve it
A settlement agent and a conveyancer are the same thing. The names used for the role may vary between states, but both are responsible for the same things during your settlement process.
In short, a conveyancer is responsible for the legal transfer of your property – into your name if you are purchasing, or into the buyer’s name if you are selling. It involves dealing with various parties involved to ensure your settlement occurs smoothly and on time.
Settlement is the most exciting part of the journey. It’s the day and time when the money and ownership of the property change hands. Settlements now happen electronically via a platform called PEXA.
The settlement date is generally decided when you sign the contract of sale, and your conveyancer will work to that date. That may be as soon as 14 days and up to many months later if you’re buying a block of land that is not yet titled. Settlements now happen online via a platform called PEXA and once a file starts settling, it usually takes about half an hour for everything to complete and ownership of the property to be transferred.
It’s simple, just make sure you insert our details in your contract of sale when you sign so the vendor knows you’re using us. If you’re working with a Resolve Finance Mortgage Broker, the process couldn’t be easier. Just let your Mortgage Broker know that you want to use us and we will be in contact with you to finalise the next steps.
