Celebrating the people who keep everything moving — and make it look easy.

Today, we recognise the dedication, professionalism and attention to detail of the secretaries who keep the wheels turning behind the scenes.

At Cochrane Attorneys, we know that every successful matter involves someone keeping track of the details, following up on the paperwork, keeping things organised and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. 📑

Because in the world of conveyancing, “just one small thing” is rarely just one small thing. 😉

To all the secretaries who multitask, problem-solve, stay organised and somehow always know what needs to happen next — we appreciate you!

From our team to yours, Happy Secretary’s Day! ❤️

Here’s to the people behind the paperwork, the organisation and the countless little details that keep everything on track.

Being away doesn't mean your transfer has to grind to a halt — but early communication is everything.

At Cochrane Attorneys, a little planning goes a long way.

What to Do If You're Travelling:
✅ Notify your conveyancer as early as possible — the sooner we know, the more options we have.
✅ Arrange document signing in advance — this can often be done before you leave.
✅ Discuss available alternatives — there are legal mechanisms to keep your transfer moving in your absence.
🚫 Don't leave it to the last minute — late notice limits your options and risks unnecessary delays.

💡 Our Value-Add: We plan ahead with our clients so that travel never becomes a transfer obstacle.

🛩 Travelling soon?
Let's talk before you go. We'll keep your transfer on track while you're away.

If you are buying a home, seeing an "early occupation" payment in your contract can feel like a penalty. You might think: "Why am I being fined just because the paperwork is still processing?"

The short answer?
It’s not a punishment at all. It’s a financial bridge.

Think of it as a helpful mechanism that actually allows you to take early occupation.

Here is how it works in plain language:

• It’s a fair trade-off: You get the keys to unpack and settle in early. Meanwhile, the seller still legally owns the house and has to cover the bond, insurance, and rates. This payment simply ensures they aren't out of pocket while you enjoy the home.

• It mirrors your future budget: This isn't "wasted" rent money. The amount is usually calculated to match what your actual monthly bond payment will be anyway. The bottom line: You were going to start paying for a roof over your head this month regardless. Instead of paying the bank, you are covering the home's running costs for a few weeks.
Instead of a fine, look at it as your ticket to booking the moving truck on your own schedule without waiting on the Deeds Office clock! 🚚💨
