Conveyancing & Property

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one party to another. It involves contracts, searches, finance requirements, settlement arrangements and strict deadlines that need to be met.

A conveyancing lawyer can take the pressure off by managing the transaction end-to-end, identifying risks early, and ensuring the paperwork is correct so you can move forward with confidence.

Our Conveyancing Services

Buying or selling property is rarely “just forms”. There are contracts to negotiate, finance and lender requirements, title issues, and documents that must be accurate and delivered on time.

Trainor & Associates can assist whether you are:

  • purchasing a home or investment property,

  • selling residential or commercial property, or

  • seeking advice before you sign.

We’re not a volume conveyancing provider. We deliver a legal service, with a lawyer overseeing your matter, giving strategic advice where needed, and stepping in quickly if complications arise.

Purchasing a Property

Conveyancing can look straightforward on the surface, but a lot can go wrong if key issues are missed, particularly around contract terms, special conditions, title restrictions, and due diligence.

We help by:

  • reviewing the contract of sale and Section 32 (Vendor’s Statement),

  • identifying risks, unusual conditions or unfavourable clauses,

  • advising on your rights and obligations in plain English,

  • negotiating amendments where appropriate, and

  • managing the matter through to settlement so you can collect the keys with confidence.

Selling a Property

When you’re selling, your contract and disclosure documents need to be prepared carefully, not only to comply with the law, but to protect you if issues arise during the sale.

We can assist with:

  • preparation of the Contract of Sale and Section 32,

  • drafting special conditions tailored to your circumstances,

  • managing purchaser enquiries and negotiations,

  • working with agents, lenders and the other side’s lawyers, and

  • ensuring settlement occurs properly and funds are distributed correctly.

We also keep you informed throughout the process so you always know where things stand and what your likely outcome will be at settlement.

Contract Review

Before you sign anything, it’s worth having a lawyer review the contract, particularly where timelines are short or conditions are complex.

We can review and advise on:

  • special conditions and hidden risks,

  • finance, building and pest inspections, and due diligence clauses,

  • penalty interest and default provisions,

  • settlement dates and adjustments, and

  • anything that could affect your ability to proceed (or expose you to unexpected costs).

Contracts can be long, technical, and easy to misread. We’ll translate the legal language and tell you what matters, and what you should do next.

Additional Property Services

In addition to conveyancing, we can assist with related property matters, including:

  • first home buyer guidance and general eligibility advice around available concessions,

  • refinancing and title updates, including lender requirements and settlements,

  • foreign purchaser considerations, including guidance on the process and typical approval requirements, and

  • commercial and retail leases, including lease reviews, drafting, negotiations and disputes.
