You’ve finally found that perfect piece of property that has your name written all over it. The deposit is ready, your mortgage loan is pre-approved by the bank, heck, even the boxes are packed – but now what? 

Here comes the complicated part – property purchase in Queensland is covered by all sorts of different laws and regulations, and requires very specialised knowledge to navigate. In short, buying a property can be a potential minefield if you don’t know what you’re doing or having someone acting on your behalf. 

Conveyancing is an area of law that specifically deals with the transfer of ownership of real estate property. Real estate property includes land, houses, units, houses, retirement villages, townhouses and even timeshare apartments. A conveyancer will act on your behalf to ensure that the purchase of your property goes smoothly, that all the right paperwork is completed and in the right order and that the settlement of your mortgage is finalised for you to receive your Title and ultimately the keys to your new abode.  

Conveyancing involves all the steps required in making sure that the registration of the land is transferred to your name at the government’s land title office. They undertake all the searches to ensure rightful existing ownership, no issues with reclaiming of native land, that there is no contamination or any other mitigating factors that may affect the future value of the property. 

Ultimately, conveyancers are there to make sure everything goes right the first time, with minimal stress and inconvenience on your part. While it’s not a legal requirement to hire a conveyancer, doing so early in the purchase process will ensure all the boxes are ticked.

You can expect the following benefits from the services of a conveyancer:

• Extensive knowledge and familiarity with Queensland laws on the purchase, transfer, subdivision and sale of property.
• Someone to talk you through the elements of your Contract of Sale so you’re aware of any risks associated with the contract.
• A personal agent to act on your behalf when booking in settlements with the bank.
• Professional completion of all the various documents associated with the transfer of property, the order they need to be completed in, when they must be completed and feedback on any obstacles associated with the completion of those documents.
• An expert in unusual purchase circumstances – auctions, private sales, time share accommodation and contracts in retirement homes.
