Before your property hits the market, there is essential legal groundwork that needs to happen. The most important step is the preparation of your Section 32 vendor statement, which is required by law before a buyer can sign a contract.
This document includes your title details, planning information, building permits, council and water certificates, and any other disclosures. Getting this right is critical — errors or omissions can give a buyer grounds to rescind the contract.
We also review your agent's contract of sale to ensure the terms are fair and protect your position, advise on settlement timelines that work for your situation, and flag any issues with your title that need to be resolved before listing. The earlier you engage us, the smoother your campaign will be.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Section 32 vendor statement is a legal document required under the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic). It discloses important information about the property to potential buyers including title details, planning information, building permits, owner corporation details, and any known defects. It must be provided to the buyer before they sign the contract.
We typically prepare a Section 32 within 5 to 10 business days, depending on how quickly we receive certificates from council and water authorities. We recommend engaging us as early as possible so your property is ready to list without delays.
If the buyer requests an extension, we review the circumstances and advise you on your options. You can agree to the extension, negotiate terms such as penalty interest, or insist on the original settlement date. We protect your rights while working towards a practical resolution.
Capital gains tax may apply depending on whether the property was your principal place of residence and how long you owned it. While we handle the conveyancing side, we recommend consulting your accountant for specific tax advice related to your circumstances.
