Stage 01 · Agreement
A clear starting point
The sale agreement sets out the price, conditions and occupation arrangements. The transferring attorney is usually appointed by the seller.

Share the signed agreement and property details. Check the conditions and payment dates with your conveyancing team.
Stage 02 · Preparation
Get ready for the next step
Your attorney confirms the documents, signatures and payments needed. A transfer and a new mortgage bond are separate legal tasks.
Prepare your documents →Your part
Answer document requests promptly, keep a list of outstanding items and ask for an explanation before signing.
Stage 03 · Lodgement
Documents go to the Deeds Office
When the transaction is ready, the relevant attorneys coordinate and lodge the documents for examination at the Deeds Office.
Request a progress update →Your part
Stay in touch with your conveyancing team about the stage of your matter and any outstanding requirements.
Stage 04 · Registration
Confirm your next chapter
Registration follows when the documents meet the requirements. Your attorney can confirm registration and the next steps for your matter.
Read about registration →Your part
Check the occupation date and any occupational rent in your agreement before arranging a move. Occupation and registration are separate issues.
