What is conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property from one person or entity to another. It involves tasks such as preparing and reviewing contracts, conducting property searches, handling financial transactions, and registering the transfer with the relevant authorities. A conveyancing lawyer ensures the smooth and lawful transfer of property rights.

  • Legal fees
  • Local searches
  • Money transfer fees
  • Registering titles
