Frequently Asked Questions
Buying and selling property can be daunting, so you have probably got questions.
Here are some of the common questions we get asked from conveyancing fees and the process to protecting your information.
Why do I need a conveyancer to sell my property?
While you are legally not required to use a conveyancer in South Australia, it is a good idea. Property transactions are complex, with many steps along the way. There are also legal requirements you need to meet. If you don’t, you could lose your deposit or your property.
When should I talk to a conveyancer?
The sooner, the better. As soon as you decide to buy or sell a property, you can contact us. Don’t wait until you are ready to sign the contract.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. As long as the property you are buying is in South Australia, we can help you, wherever you are. But if you are close to Tanunda, we are happy to organise an appointment in our office.
What are the costs involved with conveyancing?
For most basic property conveyancing transactions, we offer a fixed fee which we confirm at the start. Even if your transaction is more complex, we will confirm that fee upfront. If the costs and disbursements change during your conveyancing matter, we will let you know straight away.
How will you protect my information?
We take data and information security seriously, working with our IT providers to ensure our security systems and processes are up to date.
How do you verify my identity?
You will receive a detailed document with your initial paperwork that sets out the required identity documents.
Can conveyancers provide legal advice?
Conveyancers in South Australia are licensed professionals who specialise in legal aspects of property transactions. Whilst they can provide specific advice relating to the conveyancing process itself, such as preparing legal documents and ensuring the transfer of property ownership, they are not qualified to provide legal advice.
If you require advice on legal matters that extend beyond the conveyancing process, such as complex contractual issues, disputes or legal implications of property transactions, it is generally recommended to consult a qualified lawyer who specialises in property or real estate law. They have the expertise to offer comprehensive legal advice tailored to your specific transaction.
