What documents do you need for the Section 32 Vendor’s Statement?

The following questions can help you decide what a conveyancer will need from you to prepare a Section 32 Vendor's Statement.

Is it a standard, sale, conveyancing matter?


A standard matter is a property that:

- Is NOT less than 7 years old
- Has NOT been renovated by you as owner/builder in the last 7 years
- Has NOT had any structural work done in the last seven years that exceeds $12 000 in total value
If so, they will only require copies of the latest bills for water and council rates.

Is the property a unit?


If it doesn’t have common property you will only need to supply:
- copies of the latest bills for water and council rates

If it has common property but no active owners corporation you will need to supply:
- a copy of the occupier liability insurance in the name of the owners corporation, and
- copies of the latest bills for water and council rates

If it has an active owners corporation you will need to supply:
- an Owners Corporation Certificate*, and
- copies of the latest bills for water and council rates
