Specialist property conveyancing experts
Buying and selling real estate can be stressful. Altria’s expert property law team will ease the pain with our lawyers looking after your property purchase or sale at every stage of the conveyancing process.
Altria′s lawyers are experts in property law and conveyancing.
A professional conveyancing lawyer who will represent your interests
For buyers, our conveyancing service starts from the moment you find your dream home or next investment. We will review the Contract of Sale, negotiating any amendments on your behalf. Next, we will order a pest, building, or strata report, and if you proceed with the purchase prepare the Contact in executable form to send it to the vendor’s solicitor for exchange.
Once the real estate contracts have been exchanged, we prepare everything from property searches right through to draft settlement figures and cheque directions for your mortgagee. At property settlement, we double check the documents, and pay the settlement fund, so you can pick up the keys. If there is no mortgage on the property, we will lodge the Transfer and Notice of Sale, and send you the Certificate of Title.
Vendors are equally well serviced by Altria. We take of everything from ordering any required searches and preparing the Contract for Sale, to ensuring the mortgagee will be ready to settle on time.

Expert property law and conveyancing information from Altria′s lawyers
Good to know about conveyancing
What you need to know about your real estate transaction:
- A conveyancing solicitor works only on your side to protect you during the transaction.
- Do your homework to ensure you have adequate funds to pay for total costs incurred in buying a home.
- There are a lot of various parties to pay at very specific times.
- Missing deadlines can void a transaction, so ensure all key dates are met during the process.
- Buying at auction means you must sign the contract and pay a deposit on the spot. There is no cooling-off.
- Buying via private treaty has a 5-day cooling-off period from signing, unless waived by the buyer.
Why use a licensed conveyancing lawyer or solicitor?
Domain.com.au plus RealEstate.com.au both recommend that buyers and sellers use the services of a solicitor during the transaction of a property. They help guide you on the complex journey to settlement, and ensure the many i’s are dotted and the t’s crossed.
With so many documents to gather and parties to interact with, your conveyancing solicitor can take much of the day-to-day off your hands. Better still, they manage the process on your behalf to ensure that all deadlines, requirements and payments are being met on time and to specification.
Aside from being experienced, conveyancing solicitors carry professional indemnity insurance, and so their insurance protects you in the unlikely event something goes wrong during the transaction. Look for a solicitor who provides a fixed fee so you know where you stand before you engage.
Altria’s experienced property law team can help you every step of the way, so contact us today to discuss your real estate transaction.
