Property transfers in Victoria
Property transfer is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one party to another. It involves the preparation, execution, and lodgement of legal documents, as well as the relevant checks and searches.
Transfers can arise following a death, a relationship settlement, a gift to a family member or a distribution from a trust. Tell Ian who currently owns the property and what change is proposed.

- Conducting the searches and checks relevant to the transaction.
- Liaising with banks, mortgage providers and other relevant parties about required consents.
- Arranging signing and lodgement of the transfer documents, including through PEXA where applicable.
