Where are Melbourne property transactions processed?
Melbourne titles are recorded on the Victorian land register administered by Land Use Victoria through the Registrar of Titles. Most settlements are completed online through an electronic lodgement network operator such as PEXA or Sympli. Land transfer duty is assessed and collected by the State Revenue Office, usually through the settlement workspace.
What Victoria-specific rules apply?
In Victoria, conveyancing can be done by a lawyer or by a conveyancer licensed by the Business Licensing Authority under the Conveyancers Act 2006 (Vic). A buyer in a private sale of residential property generally has 3 business days to cool off under the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic), and loses $100 or 0.2% of the price, whichever is greater. There is no cooling-off period for a purchase at auction. Land transfer duty is assessed by the State Revenue Office, and first home buyers may qualify for an exemption or concession depending on the property value.
How much does a conveyancer cost in Melbourne?
Fees for conveyancers in Melbourne depend on the matter, the lawyer's seniority and the fee model (hourly, fixed fee or conditional). Before any work starts, a law firm must disclose its costs in writing when they are likely to exceed the disclosure threshold. See How Much Does a Lawyer Cost in Australia? for typical ranges and fee models.
