Frequently Asked Questions About Property Conveyancing
We understand that our clients will have an array of questions for our solicitors.
Here are some answers to commonly asked questions about conveyancing services in Melbourne.
What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the procedure of transferring a home’s ownership from one party to another. It involves all the legal and administrative work linked to the transfer. The conveyancing process is tedious and begins after an offer made for a property has been accepted. To seek guidance with the complicated procedure, it is best to hire a conveyancer who is a licensed and qualified professional offering advice on selling and purchasing a property and helping in preparing legal documentation for property transfer.
What is the difference between a conveyancer and a lawyer?
A conveyancer specialises in the conveyancing process of transferring ownership of property from one party to the other. As far as a lawyer is concerned, they offer property law and conveyancing services along with a broader range of legal services. Lawyers have specialised knowledge in the legal field and can be approached for various legal matters other than conveyancing.
What does a conveyancer do?
The primary role of the conveyancer is the legal transfer of the property from seller to buyer. Our team at Orange Legal Group can help you make this process simpler and easier.
Who pays conveyancing fees, buyer or seller?
Whether you are buying a property or selling one, you will require a conveyancer to help you carry out the paperwork related to the real estate transfer. In most cases, the buyer and seller hire their conveyancers, who are likely to coordinate with each other on behalf of their clients. This means both parties pay their own conveyancer.
What documents do I need for conveyancing?
In most cases, conveyancing requires documents like a contract of sale, loan contract, certificate of land title, vendor’s statement, settlement statement, transfer documents, and identity verification. Some additional documents may be required depending on whether you purchase, sell, or transfer the property. Please speak to our experts to find out the exact documents you would need for conveyancing.
Does a buyer need a conveyancer?
(a) Yes, a buyer does need a conveyancer to complete the purchase of the property. The buyer hires a conveyancer and acts as an intermediary with banks and lawyers.
(b) Some buyers may not require the services of a solicitor (lawyer), and someone in this situation might use their lawyer – but in all cases, you will need one or more of these professionals, so who you choose depends on your circumstances. Your needs determine which professional you employ, not vice versa.
Can a buyer and seller use the same conveyancer?
It can be the same conveyancer however both parties will need to sign a conflict-of-interest form and if any dispute arises, both parties will need to seek alternate representation.
How long does conveyancing take?
Conveyancing takes however long the settlement is (if purchasing). If you are selling, it takes 1–2 weeks to prepare the contract and then further work occurs once it is sold and working toward settlement. The potential complexities and difficulties involved with a private property transaction (and other property business) will vary depending on who you instruct and what they do or don’t know about how these transactions work.
