When you buy, we review the contract and Vendor Statement for title restrictions, easements, covenants, owners corporation rules, planning overlays and special conditions. We explain the cooling-off period, check finance and building and pest conditions, calculate land transfer duty and help you apply for any first home buyer concessions through the State Revenue Office.
Before settlement we complete the required searches, prepare the transfer documents, liaise with your lender and the vendor's representative, and arrange the final inspection so you can collect your keys on settlement day.

Buying or Selling Property in Craigieburn: What Locals Should Know
Craigieburn has grown from a semi-rural township into one of the largest suburbs in Melbourne's north. Buyers are drawn by Craigieburn station at the end of the Craigieburn line, quick access to the Hume Freeway and the shops and services around Craigieburn Central. The result is a busy market that mixes established 1990s and 2000s homes with newer estates on the suburb's northern and western edges.
That mix matters for your conveyancing. An older Craigieburn home may come with extensions, sheds or pools that need building permits, while a newer estate lot is more likely to carry restrictive covenants, design guidelines and a recently registered plan of subdivision. A local conveyancer in Craigieburn who understands both helps you spot issues early, before they cost you time or money.

What Your Conveyancer in Craigieburn Checks Before You Sign
Before you sign anything, your conveyancer should read the full Contract of Sale and the vendor's Section 32 Statement line by line. These are the items we look at most closely for Craigieburn properties:
- Title and encumbrances – mortgages, caveats, easements and restrictive covenants recorded on the title.
- Planning zone and overlays – we check the zoning and any overlays using VicPlan so you know what can be built or changed.
- Plan of subdivision and sunset dates – for land or off-the-plan lots in Craigieburn, we confirm whether the plan is registered, the sunset date, and what happens if titles are delayed.
- Growth area charges – we check whether the Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution (GAIC) or developer conditions affect the lot.
- Outgoings – council rates, water and owners corporation fees, which are adjusted between buyer and seller at settlement.
- Special conditions – finance, building and pest, or sale-of-another-property clauses that protect you.
- Deposit and cooling-off – who holds the deposit, when it can be released, and whether a cooling-off period applies.
Tip: For a private sale of residential property in Victoria, buyers usually have a cooling-off period of three clear business days. It does not apply to auctions. Get a pre-purchase contract review before you sign.
Selling in Craigieburn? Get Your Section 32 Right
If you are selling in Craigieburn, buyers comparing your home with brand-new house and land packages will look closely at your Section 32. A complete statement – with current title, plan of subdivision, owners corporation details (if any), rates and the correct planning certificate – keeps the sale moving and reduces the chance of a buyer trying to avoid the contract later.

Common Mistakes Craigieburn Buyers and Sellers Make
Most of the costly problems we see are avoidable. Before you sign, check you are not making one of these:
- Signing a land or house and land contract before checking the sunset clause and plan of subdivision.
- Assuming the builder's contract and land contract settle at the same time – they usually do not.
- Not budgeting for stamp duty, transfer fees and lender costs on top of the deposit.
- Missing restrictive covenants or design guidelines that limit fencing, driveways or a second dwelling.
- Letting finance approval lapse while waiting for titles to register.

Conveyancer Craigieburn FAQs
How much does a conveyancer in Craigieburn cost?
Our Craigieburn conveyancing is offered on a fixed-fee basis. Your quote covers our professional fees, and disbursements such as searches, certificates and PEXA fees are listed separately so there are no surprises.
When should I contact a conveyancer?
Ideally before you sign a Contract of Sale or bid at auction. A pre-purchase contract review helps you understand the risks and negotiate changes before you are bound.
Do I need to visit your office?
No. Documents can be signed electronically and settlement takes place online through PEXA, so you can complete the whole process remotely.
How long does settlement take in Victoria?
Settlement periods are set in the contract and are commonly 30 to 90 days. Off-the-plan settlements occur once the property is completed and the plan of subdivision is registered.
Can you help first home buyers with stamp duty concessions?
Yes. We check your eligibility for State Revenue Office first home buyer duty exemptions, concessions and grants and lodge the relevant forms with your settlement.
I'm buying a house and land package in Craigieburn. What should my conveyancer check?
House and land packages usually involve two contracts: a land contract and a separate building contract. We review the land contract, the plan of subdivision and sunset clause, deposit terms and any design guidelines or restrictions on title, and explain how the two contracts and your finance fit together.
How long does conveyancing take for a Craigieburn property?
It depends on the settlement period in the contract. Most Craigieburn sales settle 30 to 90 days after signing, while off-the-plan purchases settle once the plan of subdivision is registered. We start work as soon as the contract is signed so everything is ready on the day.
Do I need to visit an office for my Craigieburn conveyancing?
No. We handle Craigieburn conveyancing online – documents are signed digitally, identity is verified remotely and settlement takes place electronically on PEXA. You can still call us on 0412 850 551 whenever you have a question.
