A conveyancer undertakes a multiplicity of tasks to ensure your interests are protected during the transfer process. They will prepare, clarify and lodge legal documents such as the transfer of land and contract of sale. A conveyancer will ensure the property description is accurate and in accordance with the certificate of title in addition to checking for easements, the type of title and any other information that needs addressing. They will represent your interests in negotiations with the seller or buyer and their agent and calculate the adjustment of rates and taxes payable at settlement.
Perhaps most importantly, a conveyancer will undertake to ensure the smooth finalisation of proceedings. They will coordinate the ideal settlement time for both the seller and the purchaser with their respective financiers, although the date of settlement is set out in the contract of sale. They will finally settle the property on your behalf by contacting your bank or financial institution to ensure payments are made at the appropriate time and place.
A property sale or purchase can be complex, so it pays to have a professional in your court to support you if and when the need arises.
