Wei’s Story

Foreign Buyer Purchase – Fraser Rise, VIC

April 2025
(Name changed to protect privacy)

When Wei*, a non-resident investor from overseas, discovered his dream property in Fraser Rise, he was eager to purchase — but uncertain about how Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval process worked.

As a foreign citizen, Wei needed FIRB approval before he could legally buy the property. The process involved complex paperwork, strict timelines, and coordination between government agencies, banks, and legal representatives — all while Wei was still living overseas.

The team at Melbourne Central Conveyancing and Legal Pty Ltd took full responsibility for the process. We guided Wei through each stage, prepared and submitted the FIRB application, and liaised directly with the vendor’s conveyancer and lender to ensure compliance and smooth progression toward settlement.

Thanks to our proactive communication and detailed legal management, the FIRB approval was granted promptly, and Wei’s property purchase was completed on time and without any legal complications.

✅ Successful Outcome:
Full FIRB approval obtained and property settled on schedule.
The client was able to finalise the transaction confidently, knowing all foreign investment and conveyancing requirements had been met.
