Our Frankston Conveyancing Services

When you purchase a property, one of the most crucial steps is getting two documents reviewed - the Contract of Sale and Section 32.

If you want to sell your property, you have to have two documents prepared and ready before putting it on the market - the Contract of Sale and Section 32.

It may sound simple but the way your contract is structured and drawn up can make a difference when selling a property. In the real estate world, there's what's called “buyer's remorse”. If you have hired a quality solicitor or a property lawyer who knows cheap conveyancing really well, you can avoid this through contract preparation. Lawyers know the proper wording to use so that a seller won't have interested parties changing their mind. When you're buying a property, getting these two documents reviewed will enable you to make an educated decision whether you'll go ahead with the purchase or not. Your solicitor will scrutinise every line and every detail of the contract and vendor statement to make sure risks are identified before you sign the contract. After that, if you want the contract amended, your lawyer will translate your demands through legal terminologies and send them back to the vendor solicitors.

That's the kind of service you get from LEAD! You're not getting someone who just knows the process and does the job. You're getting a legal representation who knows the ins and outs of the business and someone who can act on your behalf as the seller or buyer.

Why do you need Conveyancing Solicitors in Frankston?

A solicitor and a best conveyancer will both do the job for your newly bought property. True.

There's no point in spending the extra 100-200 dollars difference on a lawyer. False.

Let's say you bought the latest model, top of the line, and most expensive Apple iPhone in the market. The next thing you would most likely buy is a protective case for your newly bought smartphone, and there are a lot of options. Will you opt to spend less on a low-priced, unbranded phone case? Or would you buy a pricey but durable, tested, protective case from a well-known brand that's guaranteed to protect your precious phone?

I don't know about you but if I was able to spend so much on such an expensive phone, I won't be thinking twice about getting the most bankable phone case out there. I'd rather spend a bit more money on it and be able to sleep at night knowing my iPhone won't break or get scratched even if it drops 6 feet above the ground. I'll be spending more now so I can preserve my phone and make it last for years. Save yourself a few bucks now and you might spend more on repairs at a later time when something happens. You choose.

About Frankston City

Frankston is a suburb of Melbourne in the state of Victoria which is situated 41 kilometres south-east of the city centre of Melbourne, which is north of the Mornington Peninsula. It is usually called “the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula” due to its geographical location. Since the 1880s, Frankston has been a well-known seaside destination of Melbourne being situated on the eastern coast of Port Phillip. It is also home to one of the biggest exhibitions of sand sculpting in the Southern Hemisphere. Frankston is overall a leafy suburb with a wide array of natural heritage elements. There are hundreds of species of flowers that are native to the Frankston area, including more than 20 species of orchid (some of which are also indigenous to the area), and can be seen in formal public gardens in the suburb as well as large natural reserves.

The Frankston City Council has an array of programs pursuing environmental sustainability growth in the suburb. In 2004 at the LivCom International Awards for Livable Communities, the Bronze Award was given to the city council for its “management of environment, and enhancement of quality life”.

Buying a Property in Frankston

Frankston has a temperate marine climate similar to that of Melbourne's metropolitan area which has mild summers and cool but not cold winters. However, Frankston is usually around 2 degrees Celsius cooler than the Melbourne city centre. The suburb is one of the last places in Melbourne to encounter the cold front weather effect that occurs during summer.

A commanding suburban component in the Frankston area means its residential property combination is not as diverse as areas that are nearer to the Melbourne city centre - as the suburb has minimal multi-storey estate. However, as the economic hub, Frankston has been named as one of the nine activity centres in the Melbourne metropolitan area in numerous Victorian state government planning policies. These policies aim to improve multi-storey property development in the Central Business District of Frankston.

Here are some statistics according to the 2016 Australian census:

• 26.3 per cent of Frankston residents own their property,
• 30.5 per cent are buying their property, and
• 39.7 per cent are renting their property

Also, 19.7% of private dwellings were semi-detached houses, 6.1 per cent were units, flats, or apartments, and 73.8% were private houses. Frankston consists mainly of the “Australian Dream” which is a colloquial term for traditional quarter-acre blocks, and about 70% of houses in the suburb have three or more bedrooms. An accumulation of units, flats, and apartments are also centred around the Central Business District of Frankston. Being one of the suburbs in the southernmost parts of the Melbourne metropolitan area, Frankston is also one of the most affordable. As of 2015's first quarter, the median house price in Frankston is $390,000. In comparison, the median house price of the Melbourne metropolitan area overall is $638,445, and Australia's median house price generally is $576,100.

If you are planning to buy investment properties in Frankston, houses rent out for $390 per week with a rental yield of 3.3 per cent annually. Units, on the other hand, rent for $325 per week with an annual rental yield of 3.9%. Frankston has displayed a compound growth rate of 5.5 per cent for units and 7.6 per cent for houses, based on five years of sales.

Property Selling in Frankston

Some real estate in Frankston normally sells for well above the suburb's median house price. As an example, properties in the catchment area of one of the most creditable state government schools in Victoria, Frankston High School, sold 16.9 per cent more than the median house price on average.

Olivers Hill is deemed to have one of Melbourne's top ten residential views.

It is expected, however, for properties to spend some time on the market before a successful sale. Houses and units normally stay on listing for an average of 36.8 days. In spite of that, property investors saw the median house price rise to $618,000. Frankston ranks 269th on the Best Yielding Suburbs list for rental properties in VIC, with a 3.28 per cent return.
