How Lisa Bounds Uses Apkil to Deliver Faster, Clearer Contract Reviews

About Kilmore Property Transfers

Lisa Bounds is a licensed conveyancer and owner of Kilmore Property Transfers, the oldest running conveyancing business in the Mitchell Shire. She and her team assist buyers and sellers across Victoria with contract reviews, Section 32 statements, title transfers, and property settlements.

Lisa won Regional Employee of the year in 2014 – due to her attentiveness to her clientele and her professionalism when dealing with third parties. She is a member of the Australian Institute of Conveyancers.

Her focus has always been simple: make the property process easier and less stressful for clients.

One of the most time-intensive parts of that process is reviewing contracts of sale and explaining them to buyers in plain language.

The Challenge

Contract reviews are repetitive and time-intensive

For conveyancers, reviewing contracts of sale and Section 32 statements is one of the most frequent tasks in the workflow.

But the time-consuming part isn’t just reading the contract — it’s extracting key information and translating legal language into clear advice for buyers.

As Lisa explains:

“Clients need simple. They want everything explained in layman’s terms.”

During busy periods, these reviews can stack up quickly, making efficiency critical.

The Solution

Using Apkil as the first pass for contract analysis

Lisa started using Apkil to streamline the early stage of contract reviews.

Of the three report formats Apkil generates, Lisa prefers the buyer-friendly custom report.

“I use the custom report and include sections like Contract overview, Special conditions, Buyers Risks, Outgoings.”

These help her quickly identify the important points buyers need to understand before signing.

The Impact

Saving at least an hour on every contract review

For Lisa, the biggest benefit has been the time saved during the initial review process.

Instead of manually scanning and summarising the contract from scratch, Apkil provides a structured first analysis.

That means Lisa can move faster to the part that matters most: giving professional advice to her clients.

“It saves me at least an hour on every contract review.”

Over the course of a busy week, that adds up to many hours reclaimed that would otherwise be spent manually reviewing and summarising contracts.

Clearer communication with buyers

Another advantage is the ability to communicate complex contract details more clearly.

The structured report helps Lisa explain risks, conditions, and obligations in simpler language for clients.

This reduces confusion and the number of back-and-forth questions buyers typically have.

A Tool She Recommends to Other Conveyancers

Having integrated Apkil into her workflow, Lisa believes the platform has the potential to change how conveyancers approach contract reviews.

“It’s a game changer. I would absolutely recommend it to other conveyancers in my network. They will benefit maassively from it.”

For professionals managing a high volume of contract reviews, the combination of speed, clarity, and structured analysis makes a meaningful difference in day-to-day work.

Lisa’s Testimonial

“Apkil is a game changer and my goto tool for all our contract reviews.
It highlights the key parts of the contract and makes it much easier to explain things to clients in plain English.

It saves me at least an hour on every review, and I’d absolutely recommend it to other conveyancers.”
