Purchasing property is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make, and obtaining professional conveyancing advice before signing a Contract of Sale can help protect your interests. At Cornerstone Conveyancing, we provide comprehensive contract review services throughout South Australia, carefully examining the Contract of Sale, Form 1 Disclosure Statement, title details, easements, encumbrances, zoning information, and special conditions. We identify potential risks, explain your rights and obligations in clear, easy-to-understand language, and provide expert pre-purchase advice so you can proceed with confidence. Our goal is to help buyers make informed property decisions while minimising the risk of unexpected issues after settlement.

Contract Preparation

When selling property in South Australia, a properly prepared Contract of Sale is essential to ensure compliance with legal requirements and support a successful property transaction. At Cornerstone Conveyancing, we provide professional contract preparation services for residential and commercial property sales, preparing the Contract of Sale and coordinating the Form 1 Disclosure Statement in accordance with South Australian legislation. Our conveyancers carefully review property details, title information, and special conditions to ensure your documentation is accurate, complete, and ready for marketing. With expert guidance and attention to detail, we help sellers minimise delays, reduce risk, and move confidently towards settlement.

Form 1 Preparation

Selling property in South Australia requires compliance with strict disclosure obligations under the Land and Business (Sale and Conveyancing) Act 1994, including the preparation of a Form 1 Disclosure Statement. At Cornerstone Conveyancing, we provide professional Form 1 preparation services for residential and commercial property sales across Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills, and South Australia. Our team conducts the necessary property searches, obtains statutory certificates, and prepares the disclosure documentation required to inform potential buyers about the property before they become legally bound by the contract. With extensive experience in South Australian conveyancing and property law, we help sellers meet their legal requirements, avoid costly delays, and move confidently towards settlement.

Deceased Estates

Dealing with property in a deceased estate requires careful attention to legal requirements and documentation. At Cornerstone Conveyancing, we assist executors, administrators, solicitors, and beneficiaries with the transfer and sale of deceased estate property throughout South Australia. Our experienced conveyancers manage the conveyancing process from title investigations and estate-related property transfers through to settlement, ensuring all transactions are completed efficiently and in accordance with South Australian legislation. We provide clear guidance, regular communication, and compassionate support during what can be a challenging time, helping families navigate deceased estate property matters with confidence and peace of mind.

At Cornerstone Conveyancing, we provide professional assistance with caveat lodgements, caveat withdrawals, and the removal of caveats across South Australia. Whether you need to protect an interest in property, formally withdraw a caveat that is no longer required, or remove a caveat affecting a property transaction, our experienced conveyancers can prepare and lodge the necessary documentation with the Land Services SA. We provide clear advice on your options, explain the legal implications of each process, and work efficiently to help resolve title matters and minimise delays to property transactions.
