First-Time Buyers: Your Guide to Property Transfers

Purchasing your first home is an exciting milestone, but the property transfer process can be confusing. At Strauss Daly, we specialise in making the legal aspects of property transfers as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

Four key things you need to know about property transfers:

1. The Conveyancing Process – Once you’ve signed the offer to purchase, your conveyancer will handle the legal aspects, including drafting and registering documents with the deeds office. This ensures the property’s ownership is legally transferred to you.
2. Understanding Additional Costs – In addition to the purchase price, there are other costs involved, such as transfer duty, registration fees, and conveyancing charges. We’ll help you plan for these expenses and provide clarity on what to expect.
3. Legal Compliance and Registration – Ensuring all legal requirements are met is essential for a successful property transfer. Our team will manage this process to guarantee everything is in order for the transfer of ownership.
4. Timelines and Communication – While property transfers typically take a few weeks, we will keep you updated at each stage, ensuring there are no unexpected delays and that you are well informed throughout.
