What Our Frankston Conveyancing Service Includes

From contract review to property settlement, here's how we help first home buyers.

Reviewing a Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement

Contract of Sale and Section 32 Review

The Section 32 Vendor Statement is the most important document in your Frankston property purchase. It must disclose easements, zoning details (including the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre Zone), and building permits from the past seven years. We review every page and explain what it means for you in plain language. If something looks wrong, we tell you before you sign.

Calculating stamp duty savings and First Home Owner Grant eligibility

Stamp Duty Savings and FHOG Assistance

Victorian first home buyers pay zero stamp duty on properties up to $600,000, with a tapered concession up to $750,000. Many Frankston units (median $480,000-$520,000) and older houses fall right in this sweet spot. We calculate your exact savings, which can reach up to $31,070, and assist with your First Home Owner Grant application if you're building or buying new.

PEXA electronic settlement process for property transfer

PEXA Electronic Settlement

Digital settlement through PEXA is mandatory in Victoria. This means your conveyancer must verify your identity (VOI) to prevent wire fraud and identity theft. We handle the entire PEXA process, coordinate with your lender, and ensure funds transfer correctly on settlement day. No paper shuffling, no last-minute dramas.

Why Frankston First Home Buyers Choose Us

Frankston's Property Market Demands Speed

Frankston has a high volume of auctions, particularly in South Frankston and Frankston Heights. Unlike private sales, auction contracts are unconditional. There's no cooling-off period. Once the hammer falls and you sign, you're committed. This makes pre-auction contract review essential, not optional.

We provide 24-hour turnaround on pre-auction contract reviews. You'll know exactly what you're bidding on before you raise your hand. Hidden easements, unusual covenants, problematic vendor warranties. We flag them all.

The Section 32: Your Protection Document

Every Victorian property sale requires a Section 32 Vendor Statement. This document must disclose critical information about the property: title details, planning restrictions, easements, covenants, building permits, and more. For Frankston properties, zoning matters. The Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre Zone affects what you can do with certain properties. We check this and explain the implications.

First home buyers often don't know what to look for in a Section 32. That's why stories of missed clauses and costly surprises are so common. Our job is to read every line, ask the right questions, and make sure you understand what you're buying.

Fixed Fee Conveyancing: No Surprises

Many conveyancers advertise low headline fees, then add disbursement markups that inflate your final bill. We charge $1,320 plus disbursements at cost. Disbursements are third-party costs like title searches and registration fees. We pass these through at the exact amount we pay. No markups, no hidden fees.

Solicitors, Not Just Licensed Conveyancers

There's a difference between a licensed conveyancer and a solicitor. Licensed conveyancers can handle standard property transfers. Solicitors can provide legal advice and handle complex issues that fall outside standard conveyancing.

First Home Conveyancer is part of Sutton Laurence King Lawyers, a full-service commercial law firm. If your transaction involves something unusual, like a boundary dispute, a complex easement, or a contract issue requiring litigation, we escalate internally. You don't need to find another lawyer.

Direct Contact, Proactive Updates

You'll deal directly with a solicitor handling your file. No call centres. No offshore processing. When you call, you speak to someone who knows your matter.

We also update you before you need to chase us. Settlement approaching? You'll hear from us. Lender needs documents? We're on it. This proactive approach means fewer anxious phone calls and fewer sleepless nights.

The Section 32 is a legal document the vendor must provide before selling a Victorian property.

Standard settlement in Victoria is 30 to 90 days from contract signing, depending on what's negotiated. Off-the-plan purchases can take longer. We coordinate with your lender and the vendor's representatives to ensure settlement happens on time.
