Conveyancing Services for Property Buyers

Found the right piece of property for your new home or investment? Congratulations on taking this momentous step! It is understandable and normal for you to feel anxious about buying a property. Solid preparation, expert advice, and quality conveyancing services will help you buy the house of your dreams.

What our conveyancers do for buyers

You may be wondering what a conveyancer actually does when buying a house? We play a vital role in keeping the sale on track and protecting you through the process. Conveyancers communicate important information, undertake legal and financial checks, provide advice on rights and obligations and ensure settlement proceeds as planned.

Our team of licensed conveyancers offer a comprehensive service for property buyers to ensure you’re covered from contract review through to settlement.

Review of contract

Our property lawyers make sure the Contract of Sale is legal and in your best interest. We review the contract, discuss it with you and provide you with a written review as well.

Liaising with the lender or broker

We act as the “middle man” between your lender or broker to make sure all funds are available for settlement.

Organising inspections

We strongly suggest you obtain a pest and building report. If you are unsure as to who you would like to use, let us know and we’ll happily organise one for you.

Exchange of contracts quickly and safely

Without an exchanged contract, the home you want to buy is still considered to be “on the market”. Our goal is to have you exchange as soon as possible in the most secure way.

Keep you in the loop and up to date

We know communication is key to eliminating the stress of buying a property. If you own a mobile phone, we’ll send you regular messages letting you know what’s going on. We also email all important information to you, so that you have all documentation on hand.

Experienced guidance for first home buyers

Buying and selling property or a business can be complex, not to mention stressful. Buying a house can be the biggest transaction you have handled. A contract of sale and a mortgage document is lengthy and complex, usually written in legal language that is hard to understand.You want to be sure that the person you engage to manage this transaction is capable of not only handling the conveyance but of dealing with problems that may arise during this process. You can be confident that we will look after this transaction for you and protect your interests.

As first-home buyers, it is understandable and normal for you to feel anxious. That’s why it is so important for you to do your homework. Solid preparation and knowledge of the process will help you buy the house of your dreams, while receiving incorrect or poor advice can be one of the most traumatic and stressful experiences you will endure.
