Section 1: What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal transfer of property ownership from one party to another.

In Queensland, the conveyancing process includes various steps, from pre-contract negotiations to post-settlement.
Why is Conveyancing Important?

Section 2: The Conveyancing Process in Queensland
The conveyancing process in Queensland involves several steps. At Sunstate Conveyancing, we guide our clients through each stage, ensuring transparency and clarity at every point.
Key Stages in the Conveyancing Process:
Contract Preparation and Review
For sellers, this stage involves preparing the contract of sale with all necessary disclosures. For buyers, it’s about reviewing the contract to understand terms and conditions. Sunstate Conveyancing ensures that all documents are accurate and that clients understand their rights and obligations.
Pre-Settlement Process
Before settlement, there are several steps to complete, including title searches, council checks, and inspections. We conduct thorough checks to ensure there are no hidden issues with the property that could affect the transaction.
Settlement
Settlement is when the actual transfer of ownership takes place. At this stage, funds are transferred, and the buyer receives the property title. Sunstate Conveyancing handles all details, coordinating with banks, legal representatives, and government offices.
Post-Settlement Tasks
After settlement, we make sure all final details are taken care of, such as transferring utility accounts and notifying relevant authorities. We make sure our clients can enjoy their new property without lingering paperwork.
