Conveyancing is the term for the legal and statutory processes required to effect the transfer of ownership of real estate from one person or entity to another. The preparation, execution, verification and lodgement of numerous legal documents are important elements of conveyancing.
Your conveyancer will explain clearly the meaning and importance of each document. Our members are encouraged to use plain English, not complicated legal terms, to help you understand exactly what you are signing. Drawing upon your instructions, your conveyancer will also assist you to meet your legal obligations and protect your rights and interests. Investigating the title of the property is one of the most important elements of conveyancing.
Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. Your conveyancer is able to conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on your behalf.
