Property
All properties must have a sale contract drawn up before they can be put on the market. If you like the look of a property, you should get the contract reviewed by a conveyancer before signing the sale contract.

Business
While the process of buying a commercial business is similar to buying a residential property—there are a number of differences between the two. Commercial properties do not require a contract be drawn up prior to advertising the property—they can be prepared after a purchasing agreement is met between a vendor and purchaser.
At Karlene’s Conveyancing, we recommend having your contract reviewed by a conveyancer for assistance in negotiating fairer terms that benefit you. The contract will become binding once both the vendor and buyer have signed it and a deposit is paid.
Cooling off periods do not apply to commercial properties. If you are buying a business, you must have unconditional loan approval prior to exchanging any contracts. By law, every sale contract must include the following documents:
- Title search
- Common property title search
- Strata plan
- Any documents showing easements over land
- Zoning certificate
- Drainage & sewer connection diagrams
- Strata by-laws
- Any relevant leasing documents
Vacant Land
The conveyancing process for buying vacant land is similar to that of buying a property, but without any physical structure to inspect or insure. While this may sound much simpler, there are many issues to consider when buying vacant land, including:
- Can you get development approval to build on the block?
- Are services like power, gas, sewage, water, phone and internet available onsite?
- Are there any easements in place on the block?
- Are there any covenants or restrictions in place on the block?
- Is the block on a steep slope?
- Is the soil contaminated?
- Are there any neighbouring properties or building proposals that may impact your block?
