Pre-Signing Contract Review
Before you sign a contract to purchase in Craigieburn, our team reviews the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement in detail, including growth-area infrastructure contributions, design covenants, section 173 agreements and all vendor disclosure obligations. Turnaround within one business day.
House-and-Land Package Conveyancing
House-and-land packages are among the most common transactions in Craigieburn. They involve separate land contracts and building contracts, each with their own legal requirements. Our team reviews both documents, explains the staged payment process and manages the final settlement once construction is complete.
New Estate Land Settlements
In Craigieburn's growth estates, settlement often occurs when the plan of subdivision registers rather than on a fixed date. Our team monitors the registration process, coordinates with the developer and your lender, and ensures settlement is managed efficiently when the title becomes available.

What we know about property in Craigieburn.
Housing stock, titles & overlays
Craigieburn is dominated by new-estate housing and house-and-land packages, with an established older township and ongoing subdivision in active growth areas. The new estates are the defining feature: lots are created under staged plans of subdivision, frequently sold before titles register, and carry Memorandum of Common Provisions design covenants, section 173 agreements and growth-area infrastructure-contribution obligations. Owners Corporations appear where estates include shared amenities or in newer medium-density stock. Established township homes are generally simple Torrens titles.
Hume City Council
Craigieburn sits within Hume City Council. The planning certificate is ordered through LANDATA and generally returned same-day. The Land Information Certificate, issued by Hume City Council, is ordered through LANDATA with a standard turnaround commonly up to about ten business days and a priority option for urgent settlements. On new-estate purchases, settlement is tied to registration of the plan of subdivision rather than a fixed date, so timing needs to be managed carefully.
What we look for in a Craigieburn Section 32
Craigieburn's Section 32 issues are dominated by growth-area mechanics: land sold before the plan of subdivision registers, Memorandum of Common Provisions design covenants and section 173 agreements that bind future building, and infrastructure-contribution obligations. House-and-land buyers also need the separate land and building contracts read together and the staged progress-payment process explained. On established township homes, the usual covenant and unpermitted-works issues apply.
We Know Craigieburn.
House-and-land packages in Craigieburn's growth estates are among the most common transactions we handle for this area. Unlike standard property purchases, house-and-land packages involve separate land contracts and building contracts, each with their own legal requirements and protections. Our team reviews both documents, explains the staged payment process and advises on First Home Owner Grant eligibility.
We also manage the final settlement once construction is complete, ensuring nothing is missed between signing and handover. For buyers purchasing in new estates where land is sold before the plan of subdivision registers, we monitor the registration process and coordinate settlement timing carefully.
Separate land and building contracts each need careful review. We read both and explain every obligation.
Settlement tied to plan of subdivision registration. We monitor and coordinate timing throughout.
Strong FHOG eligibility for new dwellings. We advise on eligibility and handle SRO applications.
Simple Torrens-title sales also common. We handle these efficiently alongside growth-area transactions.
