You've decided to sell your home...

Decide on which Real Estate Agent you will use. Collate any papers you have relating to your home before ringing GM Conveyancing, including; Council rate notice, building inspection certificates, certificate of title and any other documentation you have at hand relating to your purchase and ownership of the property.

Ring GM Conveyancing and provide us with details of the real estate agent, conditions of sale and information about you and your property.

GM Conveyancing will order any searches and certificates which are required, as well as prepare your Contract for Sale of Land.  The contract will be forwarded to your nominated real estate agent.  We will also negotiate details with any purchaser's solicitor.  Please be aware that your property, including any improvements, must be inspected and approved by your Local Council (Section 149 Certificate) before the matter will settle.

Once your contract has been prepared and sent to the real estate agent, GM Conveyancing will send you a letter confirming that the contract has been issued.

Wait for a buyer!

Once a purchaser has been found, negotiations will determine the final price of your property and detail any "inclusions" (dishwashers etc) which are to be part of the sale. 

Contracts will be exchanged pending settlement, the time of which will be determined by many factors including the availability of finance approval for the purchasers, preferred dates for both you and the purchaser to move house etc.

"Settlement" of your matter is the meeting which takes place between representatives of all parties concerned (solicitors, lenders and any other involved party).  You are not required to attend the settlement.  All documents are comprehensively checked and handed over.  All cheques will be handed over.  Once GM Conveyancing has received the cheques from settlement (usually the next day), they will be ready for you to collect.
