Frequently asked questions
Read our most commonly asked questions relating to our conveyancing services.
A conveyancing lawyer is a legally qualified professional with broader legal expertise, including property law, capable of offering comprehensive legal advice and handling various legal matters. In contrast, a conveyancing agent or conveyancer, lacking a legal background, focuses specifically on the practical and procedural aspects of property transactions, offering more cost-effective services with a narrower scope.
Engaging the services of a qualified conveyancing lawyer is the best measure to protect your interests. This is because, while conveyancing agents may offer their services at lesser rates, they do not have the necessary legal qualifications or understanding of complex property law matters to truly handle your important transaction
Melbourne conveyancing lawyers handle various legal aspects of residential and commercial property transactions, providing legal services, drafting and reviewing contracts, conducting due diligence, negotiating terms, managing financial arrangements, representing clients at settlement, coordinating with stakeholders, resolving disputes, and overseeing post-settlement matters. Their expertise extends beyond conveyancing to address broader legal issues, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant transfer of property ownership while protecting the interests of their clients.

The property settlement process involves the final stages of a real estate transaction, starting with the exchange of a contract of sale. Buyers conduct due diligence, and there may be a conditional period. Finalising finances, pre-settlement procedures, and negotiations precede the settlement day. On that day, the buyer pays the remaining purchase price, and ownership is officially transferred. Post-settlement tasks include taking possession of the property and addressing utilities and taxes. Throughout the process, effective communication and coordination among parties and legal representatives are crucial for a successful and smooth settlement.
