Your questions answered

How should I prepare to sell my property in Victoria?

When you're preparing to sell a property in Victoria, you must do several important things:

  • You need to understand your target sale price and the timeline you wish to sell the property.
  • Present your property for sale: mow the lawn, make it clean and tidy and complete any renovations. Consider obtaining finance to conduct any home improvements, which you can recoup through the sale.
  • Arrange for an inspection of your property to ensure all issues with the property can be made known to purchasers.
  • Educate yourself about the process and how it functions so you can navigate it smoothly.
What expenses does selling property involve?

There are several different expenses involved when you sell a property in Victoria. Conveyancing legal fees and taxes are some, but precise figures depend on your situation. That said, there are some expenses that you can pencil in. Sales conveyancing costs $700 plus GST and disbursements, and Settlement expenses are included in disbursements.

For a more detailed breakdown of costs in your situation, contact us today.

How do I place my property for sale?

Contact your real estate agent when you're ready to sell your property in Victoria. They will organise listing and private sale or auction. After this, a buyer will make an offer in writing, following which you'll need to have a contract drawn up. AANDI Lawyers strongly advises that you involve us in this process so that we can negotiate with your buyer’s lawyer to ensure the best outcome.

Can you explain property settlements?

When you sell an apartment, unit or house in Victoria, a settlement date will be set down in the contract. This is typically 30 to 90 days following the signing of the contract. The buyer will pay the agreed amount, acquire the property’s title and take legal ownership of your property.

What is a "cooling off" period?

A "cooling off" period refers to the period in which a property purchaser has the right to renege on the purchasing contract. This right allows them to walk away from the purchase, no questions asked. In Victoria, every buyer can do this for up to 3 business after signing the contract.
