Buying and Selling Tips for Epping
Whether you are buying or selling in Epping, a few simple steps can protect you:
- Get advice before you sign – ask your Epping conveyancer to review the contract and Section 32 before you sign or bid at auction.
- Know your cooling-off rights – most private sales in Victoria have a three business day cooling-off period, but auctions do not.
- Arrange finance early – make sure your finance approval date gives your lender enough time.
- Budget for government costs – land transfer duty and registration fees are separate from conveyancing fees.
- Sellers: prepare early – a correct Vendor Statement before listing avoids delays and disputes.
How Our Epping Conveyancing Process Works
Once you engage us, we review the Contract of Sale and Vendor Statement, order the required searches and certificates, and keep track of key dates such as finance approval and the cooling-off period. Before settlement we prepare the statement of adjustments for council rates, water and any owners corporation fees, liaise with your lender and the other party, and settle electronically so the keys can be released on time. For more information, see the Consumer Affairs Victoria guide to buying and selling property.

Buying or Selling Property in Epping: What Locals Should Know
Epping is a major centre in the City of Whittlesea, with Epping station on the Mernda line, Pacific Epping shopping centre and the Northern Hospital nearby. It offers a mix of established streets around the old town centre and newer estates towards Wollert.
That variety means Epping contracts can range from simple sales of older homes to off-the-plan townhouses with owners corporations. We review each one carefully, explain any special conditions, and coordinate with your lender so settlement happens on time.

What Your Conveyancer in Epping Checks Before You Sign
Most problems in a Epping purchase are visible in the paperwork weeks before settlement – if someone knows where to look. Here is what we review in the contract and Section 32:
- 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.
- Building permits and alterations – extensions, decks, pools and sheds added over the years should appear in the building permit history disclosed in the Section 32.
- 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 Epping? Get Your Section 32 Right
If you are selling in Epping, prepare your Section 32 Vendor Statement before the property goes to market. An accurate statement that discloses building permits, easements, outgoings and any owners corporation protects you: a buyer may be able to end the contract if required information is missing or wrong.

Common Mistakes Epping 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 at an open inspection before the contract and Section 32 have been reviewed.
- Skipping a building and pest inspection on an older home.
- Overlooking unpermitted extensions, sheds or pools disclosed (or not disclosed) in the Section 32.
- Not adding a finance clause, then being unable to settle if the bank valuation comes in low.
- Forgetting the rates, water and owners corporation adjustments that change the final settlement figure.
