Our Specialised Mackay Conveyancing Services

Your home is probably the largest purchase you’ll ever make. For this reason, it’s important to make sure everything goes smoothly when it comes to the legal side of the transaction.

Our conveyancers offer a range of legal services to ensure that every aspect of your property transaction is handled with expertise.

Typical tasks that these professionals perform include:-

  • Ensuring that all necessary property searches are completed. These may include: historical title documents; easements; environmental searches; mining permissions; vegetation survey; title searches of other registers; establishing the property’s boundary.
  • Guide you through the process including any conditions eg. pest, building or finance.
  • Should any issues come up as a result of the searches, a conveyancer will usually be proactive in attempting to resolve them.

What our Clients say

Conveyancing FAQs

Yes, only solicitors can provide PEXA electronic conveyancing services in Mackay and wider Queensland. This is for your protection as all solicitors have professional indemnity insurance and are qualified to advise on all aspects of the property transfer.

In addition, if a legal issue does crop up (for example, a boundary dispute or a probate matter), you will frequently need to get legal advice from a solicitor. For this reason, many people prefer to use the services of a solicitor.

Familiar with a wide variety of legal areas, a solicitor is able to advise on related legal matters that may form part of the property transfer process.

We strongly recommend engaging a solicitor before signing a contract, whether you are buying or selling.  Early legal advice helps you understand your rights and obligations, advise on any contract modifications, negotiate terms and ensures that your interests are adequately protected.

A straight-forward transaction that isn’t complicated by legal issues, an ongoing chain or similar problems will normally take between six to eight weeks.  Complex cases or properties with special conditions may take longer.  Our conveyancing team actively manage timelines to ensure smooth settlements.

Conveyancing fees include professional legal fees, government charges such as transfer/stamp duty and land/Titles registration fees and disbursements for property searches.

We offer a fixed professional fee plus disbursements and provide clear, upfront quotes so you know exactly what to expect.

Even though the contract says the buyer is responsible for the property from 5:00 pm on the first business day after the contract date, we strongly recommend regardless of whether you’re buying or selling, to keep the property insured until settlement.  This way you’re fully protected if anything unexpected happens before the sale is complete.

Yes. In Queensland, the deposit specified in the Contract of Sale is payable by the buyer to the deposit holder. The deposit:-

  • Secures the contract: demonstrates your commitment to the purchase.
  • Is usually held in a trust account:  most residential sales, the deposit is held by the seller’s real estate agent or the seller’s solicitor until settlement.
  • Is required to be paid within the agreed timeframe: The contract will state when the deposit must be paid, either on signing of the contract and/or commonly within 3-5 business days after the contract date. Failing to pay the deposit on time may give the seller the right to terminate the contract and the buyer will forfeit the deposit to the seller.

Our conveyancing team will guide to understand the deposit amount, how it is held, and the due date to make sure the payment complies with the contract and protects your interests.

We recommend you notify your bank (or lender) as soon as a Contract of Sale has been signed.  This is because your lender will require you to complete and sign a Discharge Authority Form so they can release the mortgage from the property at settlement.

Lenders can take up to 10–15 business days (sometimes longer) to process a discharge request, so early notice helps avoid settlement delays.

Some lenders discharge authority are only valid for short period.  Always check your lender’s discharge form or contact them directly to confirm the exact validity period and processing times for your situation.
