When it comes to buying or selling your property, a conveyancer is a must for making sure the process runs smoothly.

We’re here to help make your purchase or sale as easy as possible.
When you make the initial decision to buy or sell a property, you might find yourself asking when is the best time to engage with your conveyancer. Here’s a simple breakdown of when to get in touch.
When To Engage a Conveyancer As a Buyer
When you begin house hunting, it’s a good idea to get a conveyancer on board right away. They’ll be able to settle on your behalf, overseeing the legal documentation and negotiation, making sure you’re fully aware of any red flags before proceeding.
You might choose to engage with a conveyancing lawyer when you have found the perfect place, rather than during the house hunting process. This can have some disadvantages, especially if you have your heart set on a specific property which ends up having one too many red flags when a conveyancer assess the contracts and supporting documentation. While there’s no right answer as to when to engage a conveyancer when buying, it’s best to be prepared as soon as possible.
When To Engage a Conveyancer As a Seller
If you have decided to sell your property, one of the tasks at the top of your list should be engaging with a licensed conveyancer. They’ll be able to work alongside you to draft up the Contract of Sale and Vendor Disclosure Statement, handle all correspondences, and represent you in the final settlement negotiations. They’ll also be able to represent you during the settlement and make sure everything runs smoothly and legally.
What Makes a Good Conveyancer
A good conveyancer should be there every step of the way, working alongside you to take the stress out of your major financial decisions. Engaging with a qualified and experienced conveyancer is important, so they are able to make sure all of the legalities are above board. It’s also important they have experience with the area in which you’re looking for a property, as laws and processes can vary state by state in Australia.
