THE IMPORTANCE OF CONVEYANCING SERVICES WHEN BUYING IN NSW
Conveyancing can be a daunting prospect for many. For some, it can be difficult to even get to grips with what it means. Put simply, the process refers to everything that needs to be checked, searched, signed, and certified to make you the new legal owner of a property. To make sure it’s legally yours, you’ll have to convey the property.
The complexities of property ownership become much easier when you have the right people on your side. We have years of experience and are supported by expert conveyancing lawyers; you’ll be in good hands every step of the way.

We encourage all our clients to consider building and pest inspection reports before they sign. When you buy a property, you accept it in its current condition, even if you missed certain defects when you first looked round. A proper inspection can save you a lot of hassle later on.
Searches
When you convey a property, it’s vital to get a full picture before committing to the purchase. The primary reason for this is that some building purchases come with outstanding debt attached. We undertake these searches on your behalf to ensure you won’t be out of pocket due to hidden costs post purchase.
A thorough search will collect the local council and authority details you’ll need in relation to the property. With a licensed conveyancer, you’re far less likely to be left in the dark. You’ll be briefed on your zoning details, strata information, heritage listings, property plans, and upcoming construction projects that might affect your purchase.
Without a robust search, it can be much harder to determine whether you’re making a sound investment. In this phase, the title deed is also transferred to your name, formalising this aspect of ownership.
Settlement
Settlement can be a time-consuming, admin-heavy part of the process. It’s one area where good conveyancing services prove invaluable. Not only is there a substantial amount of paperwork to consider, but there are also several parties that need to be updated throughout the process.
The estate agent, the seller’s conveyancing lawyers, insurers, and banks all need frequent updates and communication. Our team member will be there to represent you each step of the way. Everything will be signed and filed accurately and promptly.
