subject: Services Of A Conveyancing Solicitor [print this page] To transfer a property from a person to another legally, will generally require assistance from a conveyancing solicitor. There is another meaning to the word conveyance, however. This is movement of products in bulk such as electricity, sewerage or water and gas. These transactions interchange contracts. There are three stages involved when it comes to conveyance. These are before the contract, before the completion of the sale and after the transfer of the property.
The market title of the land will be in the hands of the purchaser of the property. This proves that the seller is indeed the rightful owner of the property. This prevents any hold ups when the owner wishes to sell. The system is designed that the purchaser is able to get all the titles and rights to the land. Any pre existing conditions that exist be made common knowledge before the sale is concluded.
Before buying a home, it is advisable to consult with a conveyancing solicitor to assist with the entire process. He or she will provide an extensive assortment of legal advice. Their fees could be substantial and could run at anywhere from a few hundred dollars up to $1, 500.
When dealing with a conveyancer, they will provide the same service, however the legal advice may be limited. They will work out cheaper than solicitors are. The fees will however depend on the property and the situations surrounding it.
Another way conveyance can be done would be to do it yourself. Kits are available to aid you. You will find step-by-step instructions and there may be a telephone support service. This will not provide you with legal assistance though, but it will be a cheaper option.
One should obtain a copy of the contract from the real estate agent to give to the conveyancer. Information contained in the contract will include the property details, council zoning certificate, title certificate and the diagram of the sewerage system. Once your solicitor or conveyancer has looked at it, they will be in a position to offer advice and recommendations on changes and explain the documents. Once you know the risks, you can sign the contract.
