Common Questions

Below are some common questions asked by our clients about the conveyancing process.

What is a Section 32 Vendor Statement?

Simply put it's a consumer protection mechanism. When selling property in Victoria the law requires Vendors to provide Purchasers a signed disclosure statement with all the requirements listed under section 32 of the Sale of Land Act 1956 (Vic). If this disclosure statement is not provided to the Purchaser before they sign the contract, is missing information, is incorrect, or misleading - the Purchaser may have the option to withdraw from the Contract at any time before settlement and have all their money refunded. This is why it is important to have a solicitor draft a complete Section 32 to make sure the Purchaser cannot withdraw from the contract after they sign.

What are the Statement of Adjustments?

At settlement all property outgoings such as council and water rates are divided between the Purchaser and Vendor so each party pays their share of outgoings they are responsible for. The Statement of Adjustments is the document that calculates this division and "adjusts" the money paid at settlement to account for this division. This usually results in an increase of money needed to be paid at settlement by the Purchaser. The Vendor is obligated to pay out any outstanding outgoings and Title Office fees they are responsible for.

A simple example: if the annual paid outgoings for the property are $1,000.00 a year and settlement occurs in the middle of the year, the purchase price will increase by $500.00 to account for the Purchaser's share of the outgoings. This means the Purchaser and Vendor have paid their correct share of the property's outgoings.
