Buying or selling a property is one of the most expensive transactions that a person undertakes. It is a potential minefield that you need an expert to guide you through.
Anchor Conveyancing's goal is to make this experience safe, friendly and affordable for all our clients through applying exceptional knowledge and experience whilst providing an outstanding level of service.
We are back to our normal work hours and our staff is back in the office with flexible working arrangements. However, we still encourage our clients to be Covid-safe and use online communication as a preferred method. Please notify us beforehand if you wish to visit us.
A small warning about Covid-19 and tenanted properties. If you are currently selling a property that is tenanted, we recommend that you insist that the property is sold “subject to lease” even if your tenant is on a month-to-month lease. This is because at the moment it is not possible for an owner to serve on a tenant a Notice to Vacate pursuant to sale, with the process instead now requiring a landlord to proceed only through a tribunal order.

The turnaround for property searches from authorities such as council, land tax, water and owners corporation certificates are currently being affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Typically, the searches will at most take 10 business days to obtain. This mostly affects sellers who wish to urgently prepare a proper S32 Statement for putting their property on the market. For further information, please feel free to contact Anchor Conveyancing. Photo by Sharon McCutcheon on Unsplash
Victoria currently has stage 3 restrictions in place, this excludes removalists who are deemed essential logistics services. So far, we have not had any reports of clients experiencing difficulty with moving in or out of properties. If stage 4 restriction are announced, which is highly unlikely at this point in time, then some removalist businesses may be affected. We advise that all our clients pay close attention to news development over these times. There have been reports on some additional restrictions and requirements in place for approvals to move in and out of unit buildings, we advise that anyone affected by this should contact their owners corporation managers for specific building information.
