BEWARE OF DO IT YOURSELF!
If you do your own conveyancing you are effectively taking on all the responsibility without insurance against making mistakes and this is risky. So make sure you know what you’re doing, and do your homework.
IMPORTANT
Before the conveyancer or solicitor starts the work it’s important for you to have a realistic idea of how much it will cost. Please ask us for a statement of the likely costs. |
We have the latest technology and can obtain full title searches within the same day and can keep clients, real estate agents and developers informed throughout the process.
What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal term for transferring a title (ownership) or interest in property from one party to another.
What we do and how we can we benefit you?
- Advise you of any risks associated with you purchase eg. New roads
- Have you already decided to sell your house? We can give you a prepared Contract of Sale for your real estate agent within 2 days (subject to availability of Certificate of Title).
- We will handle you your conveyancing process from start to finish, we will do all the liaising with your agent and keep you up to date along the way.
- We can settle when you can, according to your terms of settlement.
- Ask us about arranging your finance.
- If there is a problem with your property settlement whereas an issue arrises and requires superior advice on a certain area of law, we have expert solicitors specialising in those areas.

The conveyancing process can involve a wide range of the following steps:
- Assisting you to select an agent
