For Hazargi speakers
You can do all of this in Hazargi.
One of us sits down with you and goes through it in Hazargi, line by line, as slowly as you want and as many times as you want to hear it.
Hazargi is a Persian language, close to Dari, and most of us speak far more of it than we ever read. That’s no trouble at all for a form at the clinic. It’s a different matter when the page in front of you decides where your family lives.
Here is what the room looks like. You bring whoever you want with you. We read the pages in Hazargi. When you ask what a word means we stop and answer it, and nobody gets a look for asking twice.
The homes, the inspections, the offer, the waiting, the settlement date: all of it can happen in Hazargi. The documents themselves stay in English, because that’s what gets signed in Victoria. But you won’t sign a page that hasn’t been said to you in your own language first.
The same sentence, in all three.
Whichever of these you read first is the language we’ll use with you. Not on request, not with notice. It’s already how we talk.
We read every page with you.

How it actually runs
First
The call
Ring the number and start in Hazargi. You won’t be moved into English to make it easier for us.
Then
Walking the house
We go through the place with you in Hazargi, including the parts an agent would rather you didn’t look at: the fall of the land, the fences, whatever the builder left for later.
Before you sign
The contract, out loud
We read the contract and the vendor statement, the one everybody calls the section 32, and we stop wherever you want to stop. Twice through a clause is normal here.
On settlement day
The keys
The final figures are checked with you beforehand, in Hazargi, so the day itself holds no new information.
The question somebody apologises for asking is almost always the one that matters.
Questions we get asked
Do I need to bring someone to translate?
No. Bring whoever you like, for company or for a second opinion, but nobody in your family has to work while they’re here. Carrying the language is our job.
I speak Hazargi more than I read it. Does that matter?
Not here. Everything we do in Hazargi is spoken. The reading and the writing are our side of the table, and every page gets said out loud before it goes anywhere.
My English is good. Is this page still for me?
Yes. Some people read the listing in English and want the contract in Hazargi. Others move between the two inside a single sentence, and we’ll follow you.
What if I want a clause explained again a week later?
Ring and ask. We keep the pages we went through with you, so we can go back to the same one instead of starting over. Nobody here is counting how many times you’ve asked.
The other two
There’s a page written for Urdu speakers, and one that explains why we work across all three.
The first word can be Hazargi.
You don’t have to warm up in English first. Say what you’re looking for, and we’ll take it from there.
