Property Transfers & Legal Support

Our conveyancing services cover all aspects of the transaction, from contract preparation and review to settlement.

For buyers, we explain contract terms, identify risks and help negotiate amendments. For sellers, we prepare contracts that comply with current legal standards and meet disclosure requirements. We also help manage timelines to meet critical dates, such as finance approval and settlement.


We liaise with banks, mortgage brokers and real estate agents with the aim of having all parties informed and aligned. If issues arise during the process, such as finance delays or questions about easements, we help resolve them efficiently. For transfers between related parties, we assist in getting the legal steps completed properly to protect all interests involved.


Clear, experienced legal support during conveyancing can make a significant difference to both timeframes and outcomes. We aim to simplify the legal process so you can move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a conveyancer do?

    A conveyancer manages the legal aspects of buying, selling or transferring property. This includes preparing and reviewing contracts, conducting searches, advising on risks and managing deadlines. They also handle the settlement process, ensure funds are transferred correctly and liaise with banks or agents. The goal is to ensure the transaction meets all legal requirements and proceeds without issues. Having a conveyancer reduces the risk of mistakes or delays that could affect the property transfer.

  • Do I need a conveyancer if I’m buying a home?

    Yes, legal assistance is strongly recommended when buying property. A conveyancer helps review the contract of sale, checks for issues such as caveats or restrictions and helps the buyer understand their obligations. They also coordinate with lenders, handle stamp duty requirements and prepare documents needed for settlement. Without proper legal guidance, buyers may overlook important conditions or miss key deadlines, which can lead to financial or legal problems.

  • What’s the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?

    Both handle property transactions, but a solicitor is a qualified lawyer who can provide broader legal advice. Conveyancers focus specifically on property law, while solicitors can also assist with disputes, contract issues or related legal matters. Some transactions, such as those involving complex ownership structures, deceased estates or legal risks, may benefit from having a solicitor involved. In other cases, a licensed conveyancer can manage the entire process efficiently and cost-effectively.
