The Role of a Property Lawyer

Discover the crucial role of a property lawyer (or a conveyancer) in property transactions and why you need one for a stress-free buying or selling experience. 

Buying or selling property can be one of the most significant decisions of your life. Yet many people underestimate the legal complexities involved. That’s where a professional property lawyer steps in — your behind-the-scenes legal expert ensuring everything runs smoothly. 

Who can assist with conveyancing?

A licensed conveyancer or property lawyer specialises in the legal aspects of property transactions.  They manage all of the steps involved in transferring property ownership from one person to another.   

Key Responsibilities of a Property Lawyer or Conveyancer 

  • Preparing and reviewing the contract for sale 
  • Attending to exchange of contracts  
  • Handling deposits and liaising with financial adjustments 
  • Carrying out specific searches required to ensure good title is received to the property 
  • Co-ordinating settlement through PEXA  
  • Communicating with banks and real estate agents 
  • Ensuring compliance with legal obligations 
  • Settlement figures: your property lawyer (or conveyancer) calculates rates, water usage and  
  • Settlement co-ordination: reaching settlement on time and transferring title to the new registered proprietor  

Why You Should Hire a Property Lawyer or Conveyancer

A professional property lawyer or conveyancer helps reduce risk, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure that your rights are protected. They provide peace of mind throughout what can otherwise be a stressful process.  The advantage of using a property lawyer rather than a conveyancer is if something goes wrong and a dispute arises; a property lawyer can assist with the resolution of the matter; a conveyancer cannot.  ClickLaw’s property team is comprised of experienced property lawyers so you can be reassured they can assist with every aspect of a conveyance.
