How to read your report

Use this guide to interpret risk severity, checklist outcomes, and the recommended questions to raise with your legal adviser.

Report sections

A completed report is divided into tabbed sections. Not every section appears in every report — tabs that are not relevant to a particular property or contract are omitted.

  • Overview: the decision snapshot, a high-level summary of the main findings and the most important actions to take before exchange.
  • Risks and next steps: each identified risk, ranked by priority, with a description of what was found, its impact, and what to do about it.
  • Costs and compliance: estimated settlement costs, compliance observations, and financial items that warrant attention.
  • Property condition: physical and building condition observations based on what is disclosed in the contract documents.
  • Negotiation: specific contract terms or conditions where you may have leverage as the buyer.
  • Contract conditions: special conditions, unusual clauses, and anything that deviates from the standard contract form for your jurisdiction.
  • Questions for your conveyancer: targeted questions to raise at your first meeting with your solicitor or conveyancer.

Downloading the report

Once the report status shows Ready, a Download PDF button appears on the report detail page. The PDF contains all sections in a formatted layout suitable for printing or sharing with your solicitor.

If the download does not start, refresh the page and try again. Contact support if the issue persists after payment has been confirmed.

Report is not ready yet

Draft means setup is incomplete. Return to the report and continue from where you left off — you may need to complete uploads, confirm property details, or complete payment.

Processing means the review is actively running. Open the report to see live stage updates.

Failed means something went wrong during processing. Contact support at support@conveymate.com.au with your report ID.

Risk priority levels

Each risk item carries a priority label. Use these to decide what to raise with your adviser first.

  • High: a legal or financial exposure that needs urgent clarification before you proceed. Do not exchange without getting advice on High-priority risks.
  • Medium: an important contract detail that warrants attention but may be resolvable through discussion or negotiation.
  • Low: a contextual item worth monitoring. Less urgent, but worth mentioning to your conveyancer.

Questions for your solicitor or conveyancer

The questions section gives you a starting brief for your first meeting with your legal adviser. The questions are drawn from findings in your report and are written to be practical and specific.

Focus first on questions related to missing disclosures, special conditions that override standard terms, settlement uncertainty, and title encumbrances or caveats.

These questions are a guide, not a substitute for legal advice. Your solicitor or conveyancer may raise additional issues based on their own review of the full contract.

Confidence, assumptions, and gaps

When the report cannot find evidence for something — because it is missing from the documents, unclear, or ambiguous — it says so explicitly rather than making assumptions.

Sections marked as estimates or based on limited evidence should be treated as guidance only. Ask your conveyancer to confirm specifics, particularly around costs, settlement dates, and planning obligations.

If you believe the report missed something important or contains an error, contact support with the report ID and a description of the issue.

Next steps after your report

Use the report as preparation material for your legal review, not a replacement for it. Share the key findings and question list with your solicitor or conveyancer at your first meeting.

If you have not yet engaged a conveyancer, ConveyMate can connect you with licensed conveyancers in your state. Select Request quotes from the report detail page to start a quote workflow — conveyancers respond with their fees and scope directly through the platform.
