Our experienced team led by Mel Demarco has more than 20 years experience in commercial and residential conveyancing. Sales or purchase often run through to completion without a hitch but if a contract dispute arises our skilled professional staff can help you to resolve any issues. At Just Us Lawyers Conveyancing, we pride ourselves on our customer service.

Our conveyancing offer
- Fixed Fee Conveyancing – for residential purchases and sales of vacant land, houses, units, town houses, off the plan purchases, refinancing and transferring of property.
- Friendly direct communication.
- A practical approach to get your sale or purchase to completion without over reliance on technicalities.
- However, if a dispute does arise we have a Lawyer on hand in our team to provide advice during the conveyance. You will have the comfort of knowing that our Lawyer is ready to enforce your rights with the skill that comes from years of conveyancing experience. Many other conveyancing firms do not offer this service.
- Our Lawyer is also able to offer pre-contract advice to help you identify any potential pitfalls prior to entering into a Contract.
Electronic Settlements
Settlements are moving in a new direction with the introduction of online property settlements.
Settlements will be completed through a secure process involving the transfer of funds via the Reserve Bank of Australia to destination accounts. These transactions will benefit buyers and sellers with funds being cleared in their accounts following settlement some times within an hour of the transaction taking place.
In today’s online world, why would you wait days for a cheque to clear?
Not all law firms are on board as yet with the settlement system but Just Us Lawyer is and we are ready to move forward to assist our clients with getting the quickest results with their settlements.
Important Questions to Ask
Here are a list of important questions to ask in conveyancing:
- Initial Deposit and Balance Deposit. How is this to be paid by cash or bank guarantee? When is it payable?
- Is the Contract being purchased in the correct entity?
- Is the property tenanted? Does the buyer need vacant possession?
- Included or excluded fixtures and chattels – must be stated on the Contract.
- Special Conditions – ensure that conditions are practical i.e. dates to fall before settlement. Must specify who is to comply with condition meaning the Buyer or Seller? For example who is to organise the Body Corporate approval of pet?
- Does the property have new structures which would need Council Approval?
- Specify days in the conditions rather than weeks i.e. 30 days rather than 4 weeks.
- Amending or terminating the Contract – fully executed Contracts are binding. Changes must be made either by written correspondence or by formal agreement. Consult a Solicitor first.
- Should it be made subject to the sale of an existing property which you may be relying on funds for to complete this new purchase?
