Not everyone fully understands exactly what a Conveyancer does, and even for those who do know a little bit, some may have a slight misunderstanding.
In the interest of knowing and also understanding our role, here is a little bit on what a Conveyancer does (or should) do for you, but before we get into any detail, the main thing to know is this …
As a professional Conveyancer, it’s my job to make your property transaction safe, stress free and smooth.
Buying or selling property can be complicated and there is certainly a lot involved.
Including a lot of paperwork, checking and forward planning, there’s many pieces of the puzzle that need to be placed in the right position and at the right time. There’s also the liaising required with the other parties’ Conveyancer, the lender and the Real Estate Agent. So it’s very important to have someone knowledgeable, experienced and diligent taking care of the process. For some people, they like to think of us as the middle person that ties everything together and makes settlement happen!
So in answer to the question of “What is it that a Conveyancer does?” …
Well, tasks that your Conveyancer will do for you may include …
- Checking over of contracts and other relevant paperwork
- Conducting appropriate searches
- Consideration of tax, legal, or professional advice
- Planning for and monitoring of relevant dates such as settlement date
- Verification of identity
- Liaising between all involved professionals to meet settlement date
- Preparation of documents and stamping of the same for the relevant stamp duty payment
- Lodgement of forms with the Australian Taxation Office if required
- Calculation of all relevant fees and charges and necessary payments
- Notification of transaction completion
- Archiving of documents
… and much more.
