Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?
A: A conveyancer specialises in the transfer of title from a seller to a buyer. Whilst many solicitors are able to undertake conveyancing work, they often do not specialise in it. Solicitors usually charge significantly more than conveyancers for providing what is essentially the same service. More information can be obtained from the AICNSW.
Q: Do I have to attend settlement?
A: No, we will attend settlement on your behalf.
Q: If purchasing, when can I re-inspect the property?
A: You are entitled to a final inspection prior to settlement taking place. You generally need to make an appointment with the real estate agent for this.
Q: Why is there a difference between the conveyancing prices for buyers and sellers?
A: There are more complex and comprehensive searches performed when you are purchasing a property, hence the search fees (disbursements) are higher.
