Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a contract review before signing?
Yes — we recommend all our clients obtain a contract review before signing a contract. Our Brisbane conveyancing lawyers will flag risks, explain terms and suggest amendments before you commit.
What’s the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?
We offer both. If issues arise, you’re already backed by a qualified solicitor or conveyancer Springwood relies on.
What are special conditions in a contract?
They’re custom clauses that protect your interests — e.g. subject to finance, building inspection or due diligence clauses.
What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of real property from one party to another. It involves preparing and reviewing contracts, conducting searches, managing settlement, and registering the transfer with the Titles Registry.
Do I need a solicitor or conveyancer for property transactions in Queensland?
It is strongly recommended to engage a solicitor to ensure the transaction complies with Queensland law, protect your interests and manage risks.
What are the main steps in the conveyancing process?
The key steps include:
- Reviewing and negotiating the contract of sale and Form 2 Seller Disclosure
- Conducting property searches and due diligence
- Managing finance and special conditions
- Preparing for settlement (including adjustments and liaising with banks)
- Attending settlement and registering the transfer
What searches are typically conducted during conveyancing?
Common searches include title search, rates and water search, land tax search, planning and zoning search and body corporate records search (for strata properties).
What is a cooling-off period and does it apply in Queensland?
Yes, Queensland residential property buyers generally have a five business day cooling-off period after signing the contract, during which they can terminate the contract (subject to a small penalty).
What is stamp duty and who is responsible for paying it?
Stamp duty (transfer duty) is a government tax on property transactions, payable by the buyer. The amount depends on the purchase price and the buyer’s circumstances (e.g., first home buyer concessions).
What happens on settlement day?
On settlement day, the balance of the purchase price is paid, documents are exchanged and the property ownership is transferred. Our team will coordinate with all parties to ensure a smooth settlement.
What are special conditions in a contract of sale?
Special conditions are additional terms negotiated between the parties, such as subject to finance approval, building and pest inspections, or sale of another property. These must be clearly drafted and agreed upon before signing. Especially when dealing with Queensland conveyancing matters, it’s essential that these conditions are reviewed thoroughly to protect your interests.
How long does the conveyancing process take?
The process typically takes 30 to 60 days from contract signing to settlement, but this can vary depending on the terms of the contract and the parties’ circumstances. Our Queensland conveyancers can help ensure your timeline stays on track and manage any unexpected delays.
What is PEXA and how does it affect conveyancing?
PEXA (Property Exchange Australia) is an electronic conveyancing platform that allows for digital lodgement of documents and financial settlement, streamlining the process and reducing delays. Springwood conveyancing services often utilise PEXA to provide clients with faster and more efficient settlements.
What are my obligations as a seller in Queensland?
Sellers must disclose certain information, ensure the property is in the same condition as at contract date (subject to fair wear and tear), and provide vacant possession unless otherwise agreed. We can assist in preparing the Form 2 Sellers Disclosure. Our conveyancing Springwood team can guide sellers through these legal obligations to help avoid disputes and ensure compliance.
What happens if settlement is delayed?
If settlement is delayed, the party at fault may be liable for default interest or other penalties as set out in the contract. Prompt communication and legal advice, with experienced conveyancing lawyers Brisbane relies on, are essential to manage delays and risks.
