Settle with Certainty. Move with Ease.
Selling Your Property: A Smooth Path to Settlement
Selling a home is a major transition. At Pathway Conveyancing, our goal is to simplify the legal complexities so you can focus on your next move. From the first contract draft to the final digital handshake, we ensure your interests are protected and your funds are delivered securely.

Phase 1: Preparing to Sell
Before your property hits the market.
What You Do:
- Appoint an Agent: Choose a local expert to market your home.
- Instruction Time: Reach out to Pathway Conveyancing to start your Contract of Sale (and Section 32 Disclosure).
- Full Disclosure: Tell us about any unapproved structures, non-functioning appliances, or easements so we can protect you from future claims.
What We Do:
- Contract Drafting: We prepare a robust, compliant Contract of Sale that protects your rights as a vendor.
- Title Search: We verify your title and plan of subdivision to ensure everything is ready for a clean transfer.
Phase 2: Under Contract
The deal is signed. Now, the details.
What You Do:
- Mortgage Discharge: Contact your bank immediately to lodge a "Discharge of Mortgage" form. This is the #1 cause of settlement delays!
- Verification of Identity (VOI): Complete your mandatory digital identity check to authorize the transfer of your property.
- Digital Signatures: Securely sign the transfer documents via our encrypted platform.
What We Do:
- Liaise with the Buyer: We coordinate with the buyer’s conveyancer to ensure they meet their deposit and finance deadlines.
- PEXA Management: We set up the digital "workspace" where the mortgage will be paid off and your profit will be distributed.
- Mortgage Tracking: We follow up with your bank to ensure they are ready to release the title on settlement day.


Phase 3: The Final Countdown
Getting ready to hand over the keys.
What You Do:
- The "Vacant Possession" Clean: Ensure the property is clean and all rubbish/belongings are removed.
- Final Inspection: Be prepared for the buyer to walk through 24–48 hours before settlement.
- Key Drop: Leave all keys, remotes, and manuals with your Real Estate Agent on or before the morning of settlement.
- Redirect Mail: Don't forget to update your address with the ATO, VicRoads/Transport Dept, and your bank.
What We Do:
- Verify Figures: We check the "Statement of Adjustments" to ensure you are only paying for rates and taxes up until the exact minute of settlement.
- Agent Coordination: We ensure the agent’s commission is paid directly from the settlement funds so you don't have to worry about a separate invoice.
Phase 4: Settlement Day
Your funds, delivered.
What We Do:
- Electronic Exchange: We facilitate the secure transfer of the title in exchange for the purchase price.
- Debt Clearance: We ensure your existing mortgage is paid off in full and all outstanding council rates are settled.
- Instant Notification: We call you the moment the "Settled" status is confirmed.
- Funds Disbursement: We direct the remaining balance to your nominated bank account instantly via the e-conveyancing platform.
