I engaged Terence and Grace after I was defrauded a significant sum of money. Being a victim of cyber fraud is extremely stressful and confronting. Thanks to them I felt an instant sense of relief when they took on my case and achieved a successful outcome within a short period of time. Terence and Grace were extremely knowledgeable in their case law and knew the strategic steps to take, to help me recover both my lost funds and interest. I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and empathy they displayed to me, to achieve this extraordinary result. I am eternally grateful.

Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)

A seller of property in Victoria is required to disclose issues such as structural problems, damp, insect infestation or fixtures and appliances that do not work. You are breaking the law if you knowingly conceal from a potential buyer a material fact about a property you are selling.
Engaging a solicitor is recommended to help navigate the legal aspects of the sale, including preparing the contract of sale and handling any necessary paperwork. A solicitor has more legal experience than a conveyancer and can provide legal advice on a wider range of issues that may arise during the selling process. Conveyancers are unable to provide legal advice.
Section 27 of the Sale of Land Act provides for release of the deposit to a Vendor prior to the settlement date. In order to obtain release of the deposit prior to settlement, a Vendor is required to produce a letter the mortgagee which will provide details of the mortgage and enable the preparation of the Section 27 Statement for service upon the Purchaser. The Purchaser has 28 days from receiving the Section 27 Statement to lodge an objection of release of deposit and, should no objection be lodged, deposit monies will be released on expiry of the 28 day period.
On the day of settlement you will need to vacate the property by settlement time, cancel all direct debits for utilities and rates and arrange for final readings.
