Why Do I Need A Conveyancer?
October 20, 2022
One of the most important decisions in this whole process is to choose a registered conveyancer to act for you
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property
Buying and selling a property can be one of the most important decisions that you will ever make. This process does not need to be stressful. There is enough for you to do with packing up your valued possessions, moving to your hopefully “forever” home, or selling and packing up a family home with treasured memories. The process is both emotional, exciting and daunting.
One of the most important decisions in this whole process is to choose a registered conveyancer to act for you. Someone you can trust and who will get the job done with minimal fuss and complications. Do not assume it is the Real Estate Agent who decides this for you, as they may not recommend the best person for your needs. You may be told it is easier or cheaper to use the agent’s registered conveyancer. This is often not the case.
You are investing a lot of money in the property you are buying or selling so you should choose an experienced professional to look after the transaction for you. Adelta Legal charges fixed fees for all residential conveyancing. Our fixed fees are all inclusive and we do not charge any “hidden” fees for administration, file maintenance or settlement fees, as is often the case with other conveyancers and lawyers.
Our focus is on customer service and to act promptly so that settlement delays are avoided. Conveyancing is complex and requires a specialised knowledge and skill. It is a misconception that conveyancing is a simple process that takes little time. This cannot be further from the truth. This is a short list of things a conveyancer can do for you:
- Prepare documentation and/or clarify documentation
- Research property and certificate of title
- Check for easements and other information you need
- Put your deposit into a trust account
- Calculate rates and taxes
- Conduct a property settlement
- Represent your interests with the real estate agent or vendor
You may need a conveyancer to help you with other aspects of a sale or purchase. For example, other regulations apply to deceased estates.
What is important is that you have confidence in the person who represents you to get the job done. It is our objective as your representative to go on this journey with you and provide you with a positive experience.
