We manage your property sale with precision and professionalism.
Our experienced team handles every detail — from preparing contracts and Section 32 Statements to coordinating settlement — ensuring your rights are protected and the process is smooth, compliant, and completely stress-free.

We prepare a clear and compliant Contract of Sale tailored to your property and circumstances. Our lawyers ensure every clause protects your interests, addressing key details like deposits, conditions, and settlement terms to help you enter the market confidently and avoid future disputes.

We prepare a complete and accurate Section 32 Vendor Statement that discloses all relevant information about your property, including title details, rates, zoning, and easements. This ensures compliance with Victorian property law and helps prevent potential complications during or after your sale.

Our team provides strategic guidance throughout contract negotiations, reviewing offers and advising on amendments or special conditions. We act in your best interests, liaising with agents and purchasers to secure fair terms and a smooth transaction that aligns with your goals and timelines.

We handle all aspects of settlement, from liaising with banks and purchasers’ solicitors to managing final statements and title transfers. Our team ensures everything is completed accurately and on time, providing regular updates so you can approach settlement day with total confidence.
A Section 32 Vendor Statement is one of the most important documents in a property sale. It discloses key information about your property — including title details, zoning, rates, easements, and any restrictions on use.
An incomplete or inaccurate statement can give the buyer the right to withdraw from the contract, even after signing. At Legal Wave, we ensure your Section 32 is comprehensive, compliant with Victorian legislation, and safeguards your interests from the outset.
If your property is currently tenanted, it’s crucial to disclose all lease details before selling. This includes the duration of the lease, rent payable, bond arrangements, and tenant rights. Buyers must be fully informed of any existing occupancy agreements to avoid future disputes. We help you prepare the necessary documentation, review tenancy terms, and ensure all disclosures are accurate and legally sound.
The method of sale significantly impacts the legal process and your obligations. In a private sale, you may negotiate directly with buyers and include conditional clauses such as finance or inspection. In an auction, however, the sale is unconditional once the hammer falls. Our team guides you through both options, helping you understand the legal implications, prepare all required documents, and ensure compliance with Victorian property laws regardless of your chosen method.
Clearly identifying what’s included in the sale — such as appliances, light fittings, or outdoor structures — helps prevent confusion and disputes. Fixtures (items attached to the property) usually remain, while chattels (movable items) can be removed unless otherwise agreed. We assist in defining these terms in your Contract of Sale to ensure transparency for both parties and protect your interests throughout the transaction.
Any recent building works, renovations, or structural changes must be properly disclosed. This includes building permits, occupancy certificates, and warranties for completed works. Failure to provide accurate details can result in legal complications or financial liability post-settlement. Legal Wave reviews your building documentation, ensures all disclosures meet legislative requirements, and advises on how to manage potential risks before listing your property.

Before listing your property for sale, you’ll need a Section 32 Vendor Statement and a Contract of Sale. The Section 32 must include important information such as title details, zoning, services connected to the property, outgoings, and any building permits or restrictions.
Legal Wave can prepare and review these documents to ensure full compliance before your property is marketed.
A Section 32 Statement discloses key information about the property to prospective purchasers before they sign a contract. It protects both the vendor and purchaser by ensuring transparency about any encumbrances, easements, or planning restrictions. Providing an incomplete or inaccurate Section 32 can lead to delays, disputes, or even contract termination—so it’s essential to have it prepared by an experienced lawyer.
Yes. While it’s legally possible to sell without professional help, engaging a qualified property lawyer ensures all documentation is correct and your rights are protected. We handle the preparation of the Contract of Sale, review special conditions, manage negotiations, and coordinate settlement so the process is smooth and stress-free.
Typical costs include legal or conveyancing fees, agent commission, marketing expenses, discharge of mortgage fees (if applicable), and any adjustments for rates or utilities at settlement.
We provide transparent, fixed-fee pricing so you know your total legal costs upfront.
In Victoria, most settlements occur 30 to 90 days after the Contract of Sale is signed, but this can be negotiated between the parties.
Once the purchaser has signed and the contract is unconditional, you generally cannot withdraw without consequences. However, if the contract includes specific conditions (e.g., subject to finance or building inspection) that aren’t satisfied, it may not proceed.
We provide legal advice tailored to your circumstances before you commit.
