Property conveyancing and subsequent settlement is a complex process, and missing any detail could jeopardise your entire deposit. As you move forward with purchasing a home, there are several intricate steps to complete before settlement and ownership are finalised. Therefore, it’s crucial to seek the help of qualified professionals to guide you through the purchase of what is likely your most valuable asset.

What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing involves transferring the legal title of land to a new owner, whether from an individual or an entity. Conveyancing typically involves a contract for the sale of land, either signed privately or at an auction.
What is the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?
Conveyancers are skilled in handling basic legal processes and documentation required for buying and selling a house. Lawyers, on the other hand, are lawyers who can perform all the tasks of a conveyancer but possess a broader understanding of the legal system. Lawyers specialising in conveyancing often refer to themselves as a conveyancing lawyer.
Why use a conveyancing solicitor?
- When a conveyancing matter gets a bit too complex for a conveyancer, they are obliged to hand it over to a Lawyer, which may cost you double the conveyancing fees.
- A lawyer has much more in-depth knowledge about property law and can often raise further rights that you may have and often save you money in the actual transaction.
- Lawyers have a broader range of legal skills and will advise you how something you are doing in your conveyancing matter may affect other areas of law, including, but not limited to, estate law and family law.
What is the cost of a conveyancing lawyer?
A lawyer usually only costs a fraction more than a conveyancer and sometimes cheaper. It is sometimes frustrating to lawyers that people utilise the inadequate services of a conveyancer rather than a lawyer for minimal cost difference.
