Carefully select a Conveyancing Solicitor
Conveyancing is one of the most important professional services you will use during your life.

Hire a Solicitor Early
It is always best to hire a Solicitor as early as possible. The earlier that you engage your Conveyancer, the more likely you are to avoid a costly legal mistake. Your Conveyancer can review your contract before you sign to ensure your settlement can proceed without too many hassles.
Identify when you need a longer settlement
In Queensland, a 30 day settlement is pretty standard. However in some cases, this is not long enough. It is important to know when you sign a contract if you are in the position where you nee a longer contract. If you consult with a Conveyancer early enough, they can advise you if you require a longer than normal settlement period. If you consult with aConveyancer before signing a Contract, they can advise you if you need a longer settlement. Here are a few common situations where you might need your contract to provide for a more lengthy settlement period:
- You will be away during some of the settlement process and therefore unable to sign paperwork as needed.
- You need to sell current property before you can purchase your new one.
- The mortgage of the house that you are selling is linked to a business loan or other property loan.
If you are unsure about what settlement period would be best for you, have a chat with your Conveyancer.
Be prepared
To make sure you have a hassle free settlement, try to be prepared well ahead of time. Check that you have everything prepared early with your bank. Keep the lines of communication open with your bank, real estate agent and your Conveyancer so that you can provide quick instructions to them if necessary.
