Settlement Day is the most exciting day in your property purchasing journey.
<\/strong><\/p>\n

For less experienced property buyers, the day the vendor hands over the keys to your new house can be a nerve-wracking, stressful, or sometimes very emotional journey.<\/p>\n

In this article, we talk about what happens on Settlement Day so that you\u2019re prepared for the ride.<\/p>\n

What is a Property Settlement in Australia?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Property settlement is the legal process<\/a> of transferring ownership of a property from one owner to another.<\/p>\n

In each state, there are regulations and procedures that must be completed before the property can legally change hands.<\/p>\n

These legal requirements are complex and that\u2019s why property purchasers and vendors usually engage the services of a conveyancing solicitor to ensure the process is handled correctly, so everything runs smoothly on Settlement Day.<\/p>\n

The first step in finalising your property purchase is to line up the services of a reliable conveyancer to be your representative.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have one lined up as yet, ask us for a referral and we\u2019ll give you contact details for a reputable conveyancer whom we\u2019ve worked with before.<\/p>\n

Settlement Day<\/strong>, or the day when the sale of a property will be completed, is usually outlined on the Sales Contract<\/strong> you sign when you agree to purchase the property and leave your deposit.<\/p>\n

It pays to get your conveyancing solicitor to look at this contract prior to signing it as the wording will affect the way your settlement is conducted and how Settlement Day proceeds.<\/p>\n

This contract should contain the conditions of the sale and what is included in the sale, what actions are required to complete the sale and who is responsible for them.<\/p>\n

Some of these actions will be the responsibility of your conveyancer and some of them will fall to you.<\/p>\n
