6. Pre-Settlement — We liaise with your lender, arrange discharge of mortgage, and prepare transfer documents.

Contract Exchange Process and Cooling Off Period in Property Sales
Once you have accepted an offer, Contracts will shortly thereafter be exchanged with or without a cooling off period. Exchange occurs when the seller has signed the original Contract for Sale and the buyer has signed an identical copy. Contracts will then be compared to ensure they are identical and physically or electronically (exchanged) and the front page of each Contract will be dated. The Completion date will run from the Contract date.
Contracts may be exchanged with or without a cooling off period. The standard Contract provides for a five (5) business day cooling off period. It is important to keep in mind that the cooling off period is for the purchaser only. So before signing the Contract you must be completely satisfied with the price you have accepted and the terms of the Contract. If the purchaser withdraws from the Contract during the cooling off period, the purchaser will forfeit to you 0.25% of the purchase price. If the purchaser does not withdraw, then the purchaser will be bound to complete the contract.
The cooling off period may be waived if the purchaser’s licensed conveyancer provides on or before exchange a certificate known as a Section 66W Certificate. In this case the purchaser is immediately bound to the Contract on exchange. The Contract is usually completed 42 days from the date of exchange. However, this can be amended to cater for your personal circumstances. When calculating the completion date include weekends and public holidays. If the 42nd day falls on a weekend or public holiday, completion will take place on the following business day.
We will happily keep you and your Real Estate Agent informed of the progress of your transaction.

The Choice of Your Neighbours in Sydney
The best conveyancer! I’ve used Carmela for both selling and purchasing and it was a really great experience both times. Carmela answered and assisted us even late after hours which we really appreciated and we could see she went above and beyond for us. This is the sort of conveyancer you want on your side.
We recently used Carmela as our conveyancer and she was absolutely amazing! Super professional yet so personable. She worked incredibly hard to fight for our interests without us even needing to ask. Our family has used Carmela for many years for both selling and purchasing, and she has always delivered exceptional service. Her knowledge and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after the purchase of our new home. Even the real estate agent acknowledged how impressive and thorough she was.
Truly outstanding service – we couldn’t recommend Carmela more highly!
We used Carmela twice and found her to be exceptional.
If you want someone who is extremely responsive and won’t leave you hanging around waiting for a reply when deadlines are tight, she should be your first call. I rate her so highly that I refer all my NSW friends and now my clients to her.
You will never be disappointed using Carmela.
