Why do I need a Conveyancer ?

If you want to buy or sell a home, land or investment property you’ll have to sign a contract. The legal work involved in preparing the sale contract, mortgage and other related documents, is called conveyancing.

You will need to employ a Conveyancer or Solicitor to do the legal work involved in purchasing a property, such as preparing documents, giving legal advice on contracts and explaining the implications.

The conveyancing process can involve the following steps:

examining the Contract of Sale and Form 1
arranging building and pest inspections
examining a strata inspection report if the property is part of a strata scheme
exchanging the Contract of Sale and paying the deposit
arranging finance if necessary
preparing and examining the mortgage agreement
arranging payment of stamp duties
checking any outstanding arrears or land tax obligations
finding out if any government authority has an interest in the land or if any planned development could affect the property
finding out any information that may not have been previously disclosed such as a fence dispute or illegal building work
calculating adjustments for council and water rates for the property settlement
completing any final checks prior to settlement
attending settlement
overseeing the change of title
