Yes, absolutely. Property transactions involve complex legal requirements, significant financial commitments, and potential risks that require professional expertise. A conveyancer or solicitor protects your interests, ensures legal compliance, and can identify issues that could cost you thousands later.

Licensed conveyancers are specialists in property transfers only. Solicitors are qualified lawyers with broader legal training who can handle complex legal issues beyond standard conveyancing. At Velocity, our qualified solicitors provide comprehensive legal protection - if complicated issues arise during your transaction, we can handle them without referring you elsewhere.

Most residential transactions take 4-6 weeks from contract exchange to settlement. However, this can vary based on factors like finance approval times, property searches, any issues discovered, and whether it's a standard sale or special circumstances like off-the-plan or auction purchases.

We provide conveyancing services across Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and Victoria. We have multiple office locations and deep knowledge of local property laws and requirements in each jurisdiction.

Yes - we guarantee our fees are competitive. We believe expert solicitor-level legal protection shouldn't come at premium prices, which is why we've built our practice on delivering exceptional service at fair, transparent rates.

Standard transactions: All fees are paid at settlement - no upfront costs required. Special circumstances (off-the-plan, auction advice, delayed settlements): Stage 1 fees are paid at consultation, Stage 2 fees at settlement. This protects both parties when transactions are more complex or higher risk.

Disbursements are third-party costs we pay on your behalf, such as government search fees, registration costs, and settlement facilitation fees. These are charged to you at the exact cost to us - we don't add any markup. Current disbursements typically range from $154 to $322 depending on property type and location.

No. We provide transparent, upfront pricing with a complete breakdown of all professional fees, disbursements, and sundries. The only additional costs would be optional searches (like water meter readings) that you specifically request, or additional searches required due to unique property circumstances.

Stage 1 covers initial legal work including contract review, property searches, legal advice, and file setup.

Stage 2 covers settlement preparation, settlement attendance, final documentation, and post-settlement compliance. This staged approach ensures you only pay for work as it's completed.

Yes, our solicitors attend settlement either in person or electronically via PEXA (Property Exchange Australia), depending on the transaction requirements. You don't need to attend - we handle everything on your behalf.

For standard transactions, if the purchase doesn't proceed, you only pay for work completed up to that point. For special circumstances where Stage 1 is paid upfront, you only pay the Stage 1 amount for work completed - you won't be charged Stage 2 fees.

Yes. As qualified solicitors (not just conveyancers), we can handle complex legal matters like boundary disputes, title problems, or court issues without referring you to another firm. This comprehensive legal capability is a key advantage of choosing Velocity Conveyancing.

Auction purchases are unconditional - there's no cooling-off period and you're immediately bound when the hammer falls. We provide rapid pre-auction contract analysis, prepare required certificates (s.17/s.66W), and can advise on pre-auction offers to help you succeed in competitive situations.

Yes, we provide specialized commercial conveyancing services including GST compliance, lease analysis, and commercial due diligence. Commercial transactions are more complex than residential and require specialized expertise, which our qualified solicitors provide.

Apartments and units often involve strata title and owners corporation considerations. We review body corporate documents, strata reports, and ensure you understand ongoing fees and obligations. Our service includes all specialized searches and advice relevant to strata properties.

We can begin immediately once you appoint us. For urgent situations like auction purchases, we provide rapid contract reviews typically within 24-48 hours. Our priority service ensures you don't miss out due to timing constraints.

Call us on 1300 483 562 or request a quote online. Once you appoint us, we'll contact you within 24 hours to arrange your initial consultation and begin work on your transaction immediately.

Bring any documents you've received (contract of sale, building reports, correspondence from agents), identification documents, and details about your finance pre-approval. We'll guide you through exactly what's needed based on your specific transaction.

Yes. Unlike larger firms that may use support staff, you have direct access to qualified solicitors who understand your transaction. We believe in personal service and direct communication with the legal professionals handling your matter.

While our offices operate Monday to Friday 9 AM - 5 PM, we understand property transactions don't follow business hours. Contact us anytime at mail@velocityconveyancing.com.au and we'll respond promptly. Emergency settlement support is available when needed.

Absolutely. We believe you shouldn't need a law degree to understand your property transaction. We explain all legal terms and processes in clear, plain English and ensure you're fully informed about your rights and obligations.

While we have convenient office locations throughout ACT, NSW, and VIC, many transactions can be handled remotely with electronic communication and document signing. We'll work with you to find the most convenient arrangement for your situation.

No problem. We regularly handle interstate transactions and can coordinate with local agents, lenders, and authorities regardless of where you're located. Our multi-state licensing allows us to handle cross-border transactions seamlessly.

We need basic details about you (name, contact information), the property location and type, whether you're buying or selling, and any special circumstances (auction, off-the-plan, etc.). This helps us provide accurate pricing for your specific situation.

Quotes are valid for 30 days. Property markets and regulations can change, so we recommend securing your legal representation sooner rather than later to ensure the quoted pricing applies to your transaction.

We'll send you formal engagement documents, schedule your initial consultation, and begin work immediately. A member of our team will contact you within 24 hours to coordinate next steps and start protecting your interests.
