Contract review before you sign
A contract review gives you an opportunity to understand the legal and practical effect of the transaction before committing. This is particularly important before an auction, where the contract will generally be unconditional if you are the successful bidder.
We review the contract of sale, Section 32 statement and available property documents, explain unusual or unfavourable terms and identify matters requiring further investigation. Depending on the transaction, this may include finance conditions, deposit requirements, settlement dates, default provisions, building and pest clauses, goods included in the sale, owners corporation obligations, GST or nomination issues.
Where appropriate, we can propose amendments or additional conditions and communicate with the vendor’s representative before you sign.
Section 32 vendor statement review and preparation
The Section 32 statement is a key disclosure document in a Victorian property sale. It is provided to a purchaser before the contract is signed and can contain important information about the title, mortgages, covenants, easements, zoning, outgoings, services, building permits, owners corporation matters and whether the property is in a bushfire-prone area.
For purchasers
We assess the Section 32 statement together with the contract and title documents, identify missing or concerning information and explain how disclosed matters may affect ownership, use, development plans or future costs. A Section 32 review is not a substitute for physical building, pest or other specialist inspections, so we also identify when further expert enquiries may be sensible.
For vendors
We prepare the contract of sale and Section 32 vendor statement using the information and certificates required for the property. Accuracy and completeness matter: inadequate disclosure can delay a sale, create disputes or give a purchaser rights in some circumstances. We work with you and the selling agent so the documents are ready for marketing and signing.
Property due diligence: what we look for
Every property and every client’s plans are different. A careful legal review may identify:
- Restrictions on title, including easements, covenants and caveats
- Planning, zoning and heritage controls relevant to intended use or development
- Owners corporation fees, rules, insurance and disclosed liabilities
- Rates, land tax and other adjustments or outgoings
- Settlement deadlines, penalty interest and default provisions
- Special conditions that shift risk or impose unusual obligations
- Questions requiring advice from a building inspector, surveyor, accountant, lender or council

Frequently asked questions
When should I request a contract review?
Ideally, before you sign the contract or bid at auction. Early review allows time to understand the terms, investigate concerns and request changes where appropriate.
What is included in a Section 32 review?
We review the vendor statement with the contract, title and attached certificates, then explain significant disclosures, missing information and issues relevant to the proposed purchase. The required enquiries depend on the property and your plans.
Can you act for clients outside Melbourne?
Yes. Victorian conveyancing is commonly managed electronically, allowing us to assist buyers, sellers and property owners across Victoria.
How can I make conveyancing less stressful?
Contact us early, provide documents promptly, confirm finance and inspection arrangements, and ask questions before committing. We provide a clear list of next steps and keep you informed as the transaction progresses.
