As you can imagine, passing a property to a new owner usually means a lot of paperwork - and navigating it requires the help of a conveyancing professional.
By definition, “conveyancing” is the term used to describe the process of transferring the legal ownership of land to a new owner. The settlement process, or the exchange of ownership, is a complex process and includes satisfying various legal, financial and administrative objectives.
Types Of Conveyancing
Purchasing and selling property (whether it be residential, commercial, retail or industrial) involves complex legal work that, if not dealt with correctly, can lead to significant financial loss.
