How We Can Help With Your Richmond Conveyancing
Richmond, Victoria (3121) is a suburb of contrasts. One street is lined with Victorian terraces and workers’ cottages, and the next has a modern apartment block, so no two purchases or sales look quite the same. We read the paperwork for the property in front of you, not a generic template.
Much of Richmond sits within the City of Yarra’s heritage controls. Where a Heritage Overlay applies, a planning permit is generally needed for demolition and external alterations, and even smaller jobs like replacing windows or doors can trigger one. We check what the Section 32 planning certificate says about the overlays on the property, so you know what you can and can’t change before you commit.
Whether you are buying a first home, selling a long-held terrace or investing near Swan Street, Church Street or Bridge Road, we explain each step in plain English and keep you informed until settlement.
Our office is in Port Melbourne, about 6 km away, and we also work with you by phone, email and electronic signing, so a visit is optional.
Why Choose Complete Conveyancing in Richmond?
We bring over 30 years of conveyancing experience and a long track record with electronic conveyancing. That experience matters on older Richmond properties, where the contract can raise questions about overlays, past renovations and shared boundaries.
You get a team that answers the phone and explains things clearly, with a fixed quote up front so there are no surprises. We act for buyers and sellers of houses, apartments, off-the-plan purchases, commercial property and businesses.
Before you sign anything, send us the contract and Section 32 for a free 24-hour Section 32 and contract review.
If you want a Richmond conveyancer who gives straight answers and flags problems early, we would be glad to help.

Our Richmond Conveyancing Services
We handle the whole transaction for Richmond clients, from the first contract review to settlement day. For a terrace, that means looking closely at the title, the overlays in the planning certificate and any building works done over the years.
For an apartment, it means reading the owners corporation certificate, the rules and the recent meeting resolutions. Here is what we can help with, and just ask if you need something else.
Hire Complete Conveyancing: Trusted Experts Serving Richmond, Victoria
Buying or selling in Richmond often involves a few extra questions. Does the property have a Heritage Overlay? Is it affected by a flood overlay near the Yarra River? Were past renovations done with building permits? We look for the answers in the contract and the searches, and we explain what they mean for you.
We act for clients across Richmond, Cremorne and Burnley and nearby suburbs including Hawthorn and East Melbourne. If the property is a terrace, a free 24-hour Section 32 and contract review is a good first step, because overlays, boundaries and old building work are the issues that tend to matter most.
If past owners built or renovated the home themselves, there can be extra insurance and defects report requirements when they sell within the period Victorian law sets after the work is finished. We check that the right documents are in the Section 32 and raise anything missing with you or the other side.
Whether you are buying, selling or arranging a property transfer, we will give you a fixed quote before we start and keep you updated through to settlement. Send us your contract for a free 24-hour Section 32 and contract review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fees depend on the type of transaction and how complex it is. A straightforward apartment purchase is different from a heritage terrace with a long history of renovations. We give you a fixed quote up front, so you know what you will pay before you instruct us, and we explain what is included. Third-party costs such as council and water searches and title fees are separate, and we list them in the quote.
For most residential purchases and sales in Victoria, a licensed conveyancer can do the whole job: contract review, searches, settlement and the transfer itself. A solicitor is more likely to be needed when there is a legal dispute, a complex estate matter or litigation. If we see something in your contract that needs a solicitor, we will tell you early rather than leave it to the end.
Check whether a Heritage Overlay applies. In the City of Yarra, a planning permit is generally needed to demolish or externally alter a building under that overlay, and even changes to windows, doors or roofs can need one. The Section 32 planning certificate shows the overlays on the property. Also ask about past building permits, shared boundaries and any flood overlay. Our free 24-hour Section 32 and contract review covers all of this before you sign.
A Section 32 is the Vendor’s Statement the seller must give you before you sign the contract. It covers title details, mortgages and charges, the planning scheme and overlays, and notices affecting the land. For an apartment it also includes an owners corporation certificate, rules and resolutions from the last annual general meeting. We read it for you and explain anything that could affect your decision.
The settlement date is written into the contract, so it is set before you sign. It is commonly somewhere between 30 and 90 days after the contract date, though a shorter or longer period can be agreed. After the contract is signed, we handle the searches, the transfer, and the final adjustments with the other side, and we confirm the details with you before settlement day.
