When buying or selling a property it’s important to engage a conveyancer early. You can choose to use a conveyancer or a solicitor who offers conveyancing services.
A conveyancer manages the transfer documents relating to your property to ensure the property is rightfully and legally transferred to or from your name.
It's also the conveyancer's job to ensure that the documents comply legally for your state; ie VIC, NSW etc.
We also recommend your conveyancer review the contract of sale BEFORE you sign it - ensuring you understand the contract and to have any terms or specific conditions explained.
Here are 8 potential questions to ask a conveyancer to help you decide who to use:
✅ Are you members of the Australian Institute of Conveyancers?
✅ What type of properties do you specialise in?
✅ How much will it cost? What are your fees & charges?
✅ What will I have to pay at settlement? What other costs are there?
✅ Are we able to complete all the transactions online?
✅ Will I have to go to the post office for proof of identity?
✅ How will you communicate with me & how often?
✅ How long will everything take on settlement day? (this is important if you are arranging other parties & movers).
