01. Conveyancing

This process normally commences with a referral from an estate agent, but sometimes parties decide to approach directly.

In the latter instance, David is particularly good at drafting private sale agreements. He does this himself – quickly and efficiently. The service is free if the transfer is included in the instruction.

On receipt of a sale agreement, a file is opened and a standard process commences. Robyn Horne normally drives this as professional assistant, but David is always there to back up with advice and direction if the need arises. David also handles certain transfers himself – especially those that are more complex.

VOA uniquely operates on a target date driven conveyancing process. What we encourage is that the parties agree at inception upon the target date for registration and we adjust the workflow to suit. Normally a transfer takes 6 to 8 weeks, but things can be done to accelerate or retard the process. We therefore manage expectations from the start and doing so avoids misunderstandings and disappointments.

As a boutique practice, there is a dynamic interaction between conveyancer and paralegal. Quick effective problem solving is part of what we do. David finds meeting with the parties when trouble arises most effective. He has a style of dispute resolution that really works. Regular reporting on email and/or phone is another key service issue.

The parties are constantly kept advised.

We pride ourselves in facilitating a pleasant conveyancing experience for all concerned.

Mediation / Dispute Resolution

Voluntary process whereby parties to a dispute are assisted in finding their own solutions.
Results are largely dependent on the skill of the mediator in bringing the parties into better understanding of their respective factual and legal positions, thereby creating a platform for finding a solution.
No victor/vanquished scenarios. Understanding the ideal mediated solution is where the parties walk away maybe not enchanted with the result, but able to live with the outcome.
Particularly effective in resolving property purchaser disputes.
