A conveyancer ensures all legal obligations of a property transaction are fulfilled while also protecting their client’s rights and interests. Although conveyancing firms may differ in their offerings, some of the services offered by the conveyancing team at Waters Lawyers include:

• The preparation of legal documents and ensuring they comply with the regulations in your respective state or territory
  
  
• Ensure everything is as good as it seems by checking you are not inheriting any debt or negative interest on the property (if you are the buyer)
  
  

• Advise you on other reports that should be conducted, such as pest checks and boundary reports. These help to ensure you are receiving all of the physical land you are entitled to and not taking on pre-existing issues.
  
  
• Prepare a contract of sale (if selling) or a contract of sale review (if buying)
  
  
• Handle queries from the other party’s conveyancer so you don’t need to worry
  
  
• Ensure your bank has all the required details and documents for settlement, as well as make any adjustments and payments needed as part of the settlement. For example, if a settlement is delayed, council rates may have been already been paid from the original settlement date and it would be the role of your conveyancer to organise a refund for the excess.
  
  
• Arrange, book and attend the settlement of the property (we love sharing the excitement on the day)!
