Selling Property Conveyancing

When choosing a conveyancer, there are a few things to consider. It’s important to look for a conveyancer with extensive experience in property sales and who has received positive reviews. You’ll also need to ensure the conveyancer is qualified and registered with the relevant state or territory regulatory body. 

Excellent communication skills are also important, and you should feel comfortable asking questions and receiving regular updates on the progress of the sale.

While every conveyancer is different, some common documents you may need to supply when selling your property are the contract of sale, mortgage documents and identity documents for those on the title of the property. Your conveyancer will assist with collecting documents relating to the title of the property, building permits, lease agreements and other certificates, searches or contracts associated with your property.

It is technically possible to handle the conveyancing process yourself. However, it is highly recommended to seek the advice of an expert. Conveyancing for selling can be a complex process involving legal, financial and administrative tasks. It also involves dealing with multiple parties — a task many property owners may not be equipped to manage. 

It’s also worth noting that any mistakes or withheld information from the contract of sale can result in massive delays or additional costs.

While a conveyancer and a solicitor are both qualified to manage a property settlement, a conveyancer works under the supervision of a solicitor who specialises in property law and is specifically trained to handle the legal aspects of property transactions.
