Most Victorian property settlements happen 30–90 days after the contract, depending on what’s agreed. Here’s what drives the timeline and what can hold it up.
In Victoria, the settlement period is set in the contract — commonly 30, 60 or 90 days after the contract is signed. The conveyancing work happens across that period.
Contract and Section 32 review, finance approval, searches, adjustments of rates and outgoings, and preparing for settlement. Each step has to line up.
Finance not being approved in time, issues found in searches or the Section 32, or problems on the other side. Building and pest or special conditions can also affect timing.
