Do I need a conveyancer to buy a house or property?

Did you know that you don’t necessarily need a conveyancer or solicitor to buy a property?

However, it’s important to keep in mind that buying a property can be a complex and time-consuming process. Plus property conveyancing and real estate can be overwhelming. Seeking professional help might be a wise decision.

The two main reasons you need to engage a conveyancer

By choosing not to engage a qualified conveyancer, many people believe they are saving time and money. However, these are the exact reasons you should get the help of Townsville Conveyancing Centre.

In Queensland, the process of transferring property is governed by over 20 laws, contract conditions, case law, and practice guidelines. Without expert guidance, even a minor oversight can lead to costly consequences. Don’t take unnecessary risks with your property transactions – ensure you have the necessary support to safeguard your financial interests.

1. Cost

If you’re thinking of doing your own conveyancing to save money, it’s important to know that the process is complex. Mistakes can happen, and if they do, it could cost you more to fix them than hiring a conveyancer or solicitor from the start. Paying for help in the beginning to avoid mistakes is better than paying more to fix them later.

Our fixed fee conveyancing services provide peace of mind and ensure you avoid any surprises in your legal costs. Our years of experience ensure that you can steer clear of any undesirable – and costly – issues that may arise during your property purchase.

2. Time

Even if you are exceptionally organised, the conveyancing process can take a lot longer than you expect to finalise.

Purchasing real estate involves dealing with several different parties and coordinating various tasks simultaneously. You not only have to interact with real estate agents and sellers but also with your banker or mortgage broker. Additionally, you must coordinate with building inspectors to ensure the property is in good condition and complies with all relevant regulations.

On top of this, you may need to contact various government agencies to conduct property searches and verify the land’s ownership and legal status. This time-consuming and complicated process requires a good understanding of the relevant legal, governmental, and financial documents. And before you know it, what was going to be a quick, money-saving task, becomes full-time in itself.

Strict time limits exist under your contract for you to complete things like a building and pest inspection and secure your finances. You need to be able to act on these quickly – if there are delays, or things go wrong, you risk losing the property or your deposit.

Hiring a good conveyancer can save you from the hassle of chasing building inspectors and banks for important documents. With their expertise, they can keep your settlement process on track, saving you countless hours of stress.

Our conveyancing solicitors in Townsville will help you meet all timeframes under your contract. No matter how much effort it takes. Leave the hard work to us.
