What is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring the ownership of a property title from one person/party to another. It is a complex undertaking involving a raft of legal & administrative requirements, which is the main reason why you will "NEED" to engage the services of a Conveyancer or a Solicitor.

WHAT WE DO... and why it is important to hire us?

Once engaged, a Conveyancer will review the contract of sale for any errors or red flags, undertake title and all other relevant property anf government searches to confirm that the Property you are purchasing is legally owned by the Vendor (Seller) & that there are no debts or liabilities attached to it, and help organise all supporting documents required by your Lender in order for a successful Property Settlement to take place.

How much does it cost?

Generally every conveyance is different and can vary on a range of personal and legal requirements so the cost will vary depending on these and your personal circumstances regarding the Purchase, Sale or Gift Transfer of the property, so the costs associated with obtaining all permits, and other costs related to Certificate of Title matters, disbursements & Contract clauses & conditions etc. will vary. Generally the amount you should budget on will be between $1500-$3000. Sometimes plus all disbursements and outgoings, which are directly related to the property. We strive to give you the best service at the best price, and are happy to offer you a no obligation "FREE" initial assessment to discuss these matters with you directly. BEFORE YOU SIGN ANY LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT !

Do not listen to any estate agent who offers up 'his or her' conveyancing costs - They are not qualified to do this and as this is usually the first contact you will have - Be warned - only make a decision with correct information provided by a leaglly qualified professional !

So contact us today to get the real facts of what to do and how to proceed. Our initial consultation will save you a lot of stress and hopefully money as well.S

CONVEYANCER VS SOLICITOR?

A Conveyancer's professional fee will usually be more cost effective to you than a Solicitor's fee, as a Licensed conveyancer specialises specifically in Conveyancing and not all other facet's of the law Further, you will receive a more personal and tailored "1 on 1" service with a Conveyancer as opposed to a Solicitor, and in most cases you will be dealing directly with the business owner as well. Both MUST be qualified and hold a current license for your protection.

Can you conduct your own conveyancing?

Since October 2018, it is no longer possible for people without the necessary legal qualifications to carry out their own Conveyancing work as all Australian residential property transactions must be processed through the Property Exchange Australia (PEXA) online transaction system by a qualified legal practitioner.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE HIRING ANYBODY?

Often when buying or selling a home, the Real estate agent involved in the transcation of the property will try to direct you or "Refer" you to a specific Conveyancer or Solicitor... In our professional experience, it's much better to "KEEP THIS PROCESS COMPLETELY SEPERATE" in order to best protect your legal rights, but by all means it is logical to speak to their referred contact, as well as others to obtain a feel for 'the right fix for you' .

But be aware this process can be the most important, and expensive endeavour of your life, so before you move forward in this process that you are about to undertake, it is "extremely important" that you receive correct information & the proper guidance & professional advice you deserve... before you make any decisions related to any sort of property transaction.

Price is important but performance and ability to settle on time is paramount.

Unfortunately, it is our experience that if and when something goes wrong, the Real Estate agents will run for cover & simply expect the "legal people" to fix & resolve the issues ! Sometimes, these issues were created by the agent in the first place. This is why you MUST have clear, unbiased access to an independent & competent legal firm to help you resolve these issues. Not all agents do this but it is our extensive experience this is occurring more in the past 5-6 yesars and causes untold stress to you the client, as well as can potentially incur additionl costs to make it right.

AT WHAT POINT SHOULD YOU HIRE A CONVEYANCER/Solicitor?

It is our recommendation, that you should engage/hire the services of a licensed, professional Conveyancer immediately or sooner rather than later in order to avoid costly mistakes.

YES IMMEDIATELY YOU START ON YOUR REAL ESTATE JOURNEY !

This process is quite complex now and this is why you need expert assistance right from the start, and you should never sign anything or commit yourself with an estate agent until you have consulted a Conveyancer or Solicitor first.

It is usual for the first point of contact to be with a Real estate Agent, who is engaged to sell or assist with the purchase of their clients or vendors property, they are paid a commission (which varies from 1.0% to 3.0% of the eventual selling price of the property) plus other costs for "Advertising" & "Staging the Property" which can amount to 10's of thousands of dollars at the end of the day ! Once they have secured the sale/purchase their job is to then advise the conveyancer of the terms of the agreement, after which the agent's job is effectively complete, other than final contact with you prior to, and on settlement day. They sign up a client and are paid handsomely for this simple act.

Essentially, An Estate Agent cannot legally start their "selling" process without the direct & initial input of a professional Conveyancer, who will prepare the relevant Vendor's Statement documentation (Section 32) and also a formal "Contract of Sale" for the Real Estate Agent before he/she is allowed to start their job. It is at this point (prior to engaging an agent for the selling of the house) that you should hire a Conveyancer or Solicitor, who will then prepare the required documentation & contracts needed when Selling your Property.

When "Purchasing" a property, and preferably before you sign the "Contract of Sale" and physically, legally purchase the property, you will then need to hire a Conveyancer or Solicitor who will then guide you through the rest of this process.

EG dealing with the agent, as well as your broker, and bank, the other sides legal representative, as well as numerous contacts with all other legal entities to progress the conveyance professionally and correctly, on time !

Original Conveyancing is proud to advise that nearly 85% of the client based is referred - You don't get this high % if you don't know your business, as well as your professional fees must be seen as 'value for money', are very reasonable, and fair -otherwise clients would just go elsewhere.

Fortunately we can confirm they do not -and we have Bonafide referrals for you to contact if required.
