Selling your current home and buying your next property at the exact same time? Attempting a simultaneous settlement—where both transactions are scheduled to take place on the very same day—can feel like high-stakes juggling.

The concept sounds perfect in theory: you immediately use the proceeds from your sale to fund your incoming purchase. You pack up the removal truck, hand over one set of keys, and pick up the next set without needing to find temporary accommodation or rent in between.

However, because these two independent transactions are linked, they rely completely on each other. If your buyer experiences a sudden delay with their bank, your sale stalls. Consequently, your incoming purchase cannot be funded on time, putting you at risk of missing deadlines and facing penalty interest.

This is where having the right professional team behind you makes all the difference. We specialise in coordinating these complex, multi-party transfers via the PEXA digital platform. By linking the digital workspaces securely, we ensure that funds flow seamlessly from your sale directly to your purchase exactly when they need to.

We work closely with your mortgage brokers and banks to manage every timeline perfectly, keeping your move efficient, affordable, and reliable. If you are planning a simultaneous move, let’s chat early in the process to keep it completely stress-free.

When you finally reach settlement day and get the keys to your new home, you expect to walk into a property that is clean, tidy, and ready for you to move straight in. However, did you know that cleanliness is one of the most common friction points in Victorian property transactions?

A vendor is generally required to deliver the property at settlement in the same condition it was in on the day the contract was signed, allowing for fair wear and tear. But here is the catch: unless it is explicitly written into your contract of sale, there is no automatic statutory requirement for a home to be professionally steam-cleaned, spotless, or scrubbed.

To keep your transaction efficient and perfect, we always recommend negotiating a specific cleanliness condition during the pre-signing phase. This ensures that everyone is on the same page regarding expectations for moving day.

Our thorough contract reviews look closely at every condition to protect your moving experience. We are dedicated to providing a personable and reliable service that ensures you buy or sell with absolute confidence, making your entire journey a case of Conveyancing Made Easy.

Want to know what specific clauses can protect your next move? Reach out to our team before you sign! https://sheppartonconveyancingservices.com.au/contact-us/

If you are planning to sell your property this spring, the traditional timeline for preparing your legal paperwork is no longer an option.

With the introduction of the Consumer Legislation Amendment Bill 2026 (Vic), a major legislative shift has arrived. A Section 32 Vendor’s Statement must now be fully prepared and made available to prospective buyers at least 14 days before any publicly advertised auction or fixed-date sale.

Waiting for your marketing photos to be taken before starting your legal paperwork is a recipe for a delayed campaign.

Our workflow adapts to these changes, ensuring your campaign remains efficient, affordable, and reliable. We order your underlying certificates the moment you engage your agent, protecting your sale and keeping your options open for early buyers.

Preparation is your absolute best asset under the 2026 property reforms. Head to our latest blog to read the full breakdown of how to get auction-ready early.

If you are buying or selling property in Victoria this July, you might notice a few new steps at the beginning of your property journey.

As of 1 July 2026, Australia's expanded Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws—often called the Tranche 2 reforms—have officially come into effect. These national changes bring the real estate, legal, and conveyancing sectors into alignment with major banks and financial institutions to help protect the integrity of the property market.

At Shepparton Conveyancing Services, our priority is keeping your transaction seamless while ensuring full compliance with the new national standards.
