What Victoria-specific rules apply?
In Victoria, conveyancing is done by a lawyer or by a conveyancer licensed under the Conveyancers Act 2006 (Vic), and Consumer Affairs Victoria keeps the public register of licensed conveyancers. For private sales of residential property, the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic) gives the buyer 3 clear business days to cool off, and a buyer who withdraws forfeits $100 or 0.2% of the price, whichever is greater. The right does not apply to a purchase at public auction or within 3 clear business days before or after one. The seller must give the buyer a Section 32 vendor statement before the contract is signed.
How much does a conveyancer cost in Mornington?
Fees for conveyancers in Mornington depend on the matter, the lawyer's seniority and the fee model (hourly, fixed fee or conditional).
