Victoria

The regime in one paragraph

Victoria centres on a Section 32 vendor statement under the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic). The statement and its attachments must stack up together: buyers need the prescribed matters, certificates where relevant, and internal consistency—not just a PDF labelled “Section 32”.

What we check

The key checks our review runs for Victoria. Evidence-linked findings in the app cite the pages we used—this list is the human-readable summary.

• A Section 32 has been served before the buyer signs, and is signed where required.
• Title particulars, mortgages, covenants, easements, restrictions, caveats, leases, and other interests are disclosed or marked not applicable.
• Zoning and planning information is present.
• Rates and outgoings are present.
• Bushfire-prone area declaration is checked.
• Owners corporation certificate and required attachments are present where applicable.
• Building permits, notices, orders, insurance, and owner-builder issues are checked where relevant.
• Land tax and windfall gains tax pass-through restrictions are flagged.
• Contract special conditions are reviewed separately from the Section 32.
• The statement and attachments are validated for internal consistency — not merely that a Section 32 file exists.

What we don't check

• Whether you should proceed with the purchase or what price to pay.
• Title insurance, valuations, or guarantees about future council or overlay changes.
• Facts the documents do not contain—we flag gaps and inconsistencies, not invented comfort.
