Residential Conveyancing
The majority of our conveyancing transactions are the sale and purchase of residential properties.
As your conveyancer, Curwen Walker Conveyancing assist you throughout the entire process from the initial contract review or preparation until settlement day. This includes preparing and negotiating special conditions to protect you, providing assistance in obtaining finance approval or discharging your mortgage, and explaining the PEXA conveyancing platform and stamp duty in simple terms.
Commercial, Industrial, and Agricultural Conveyancing
Aside from the standard residential conveyancing, we are also able to advise on important matters relating to commercial, industrial and agricultural conveyancing, including: water entitlements, the transfer of road and agricultural licenses, planning and zoning restrictions and lease terms.
We will work in conjunction with your accountant to ensure capital gains tax and GST considerations are adequately addressed.
Residential Leases
Curwen Walker Conveyancing are able to prepare residential lease agreements which protect your interests as a landlord by including provisions for a bond payment and damage to the property.
Similarly, Curwen Walker Conveyancing are also able to ensure your legal protection if you are a tenant wishing to sign a proposed lease agreement.
Commercial Leases
If you are wishing to lease or rent a property such as a shed, warehouse, office space or industrial site, we are able to negotiate lease terms on your behalf to best protect and enhance your interests.
Buying and Selling a Business
Whether you are buying or selling a business, we work closely with your accountant to ensure the business financial statements are accurate, and GST and lease implications are considered.
Curwen Walker Conveyancing also prepare or review the Contract of Sale for the business, and also the property on which the business operates (if relevant).
Family Law Transfers
Following your family law matter, Curwen Walker Conveyancing are able to complete any property transfer required by Court Orders or a Binding Financial Agreement. Similar to standard residential conveyancing, these transfers take place online via PEXA, and will usually involve liaising with Banks to organise refinancing of a loan.

Estate Transfers, Applications by Legal Personal Representative and Applications by Surviving Proprietors
Whether or not our Office handled your Deceased Estate matter, we are able to transfer any property from the deceased’s name to Executor of their estate, and then to beneficiaries in accordance with the Will, or remove the deceased person from title where there are a number of proprietors.
Curwen Walker Conveyancing understand such transfers often take place during a difficult time in people’s lives. We are here to explain every aspect of the transfer in simple terms, including costs, the online conveyancing platform, and stamp duty.

Lost Title Applications
Since 2016, Land Use Victoria has issued electronic titles rather than paper titles.
However, anyone wishing to sell or transfer a property purchaser prior to 2016 must produce the paper title for destruction. If you have lost your paper title, we are able to apply to Land Use Victoria for a new electronic title to be issued. This involves a number of searches being conducted, as well as statutory declarations and an application being prepared.
Guarantor Advice
If you wish to guarantee a loan for a borrower who is a company or an individual who has insufficient equity or borrowing capacity, we are able to provide you with advice surrounding your obligations, the potential risks, costs and interest that you could be liable for as a guarantor. Following this advice, we will provide you with a Solicitor Certificate.
Curwen Walker Lawyers note that we cannot provide financial advice to you as to the viability of the loan and/or the borrower’s capacity to repay the loan. We highly recommend that you consult an Accountant or Financial Advisor for this purpose.
