First Home Owners

The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) scheme in conveyancing was introduced on 1 July 2000 to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership. It is a national scheme funded by the states and territories and administered under their own legislation.

Conveyancing - What To Expect

When you’re buying a property, it can speed things up during the offer and negotiation process if you have a conveyancing representative on hand to advise you. It’s particularly important if you’re buying at auction as you’ll need to have a conveyancing representative review the contract before purchasing. As there’s no cooling-off period after an auction, if you commit to buy, you’ll need to be sure you’re happy with all the terms and conditions of the sale.

Settlement

Property settlement is a legal process that is facilitated by your conveyancing or legal representative from both the seller and the buyer.

It’s at the end of the conveyancing process when ownership passes from the seller to the purchaser.

The seller sets the settlement date in the contract of sale. Property settlement periods are usually 30 to 90 days, but they can be longer or shorter depending on the conveyancing process.
