Legal & Conveyancing Services

In legal terms, conveyancing is the process of transferring the title of a property from one person to another, following the sale of a property. A conveyancer is there to ensure you meet all of the legal obligations required as part of that process, as a buyer or seller.

Yes. A conveyancer (or a solicitor) undertakes the steps required to ensure you have met all of your legal obligations when buying or selling a home. While it may have been possible for a non-qualified individual to ‘do their own conveyancing’ in the past, changes to the electronic settlement laws now mean it is essentially impossible not to involve a conveyancer or solicitor in your transaction.

Yes. They have deep expertise in off-the-plan purchases, SMSF structures, and trust-based property acquisitions, offering advice tailored to more complex transactions.

It’s best to engage them before you sign a contract. They can review the contract, flag any risks or unfavourable terms, and ensure you’re fully informed before committing.

A conveyancer is qualified to do all things necessary to facilitate the transfer of property to or from you. This includes providing review and advice on the contract for sale. 

A solicitor is also qualified to review the contract but can additionally assist in enforcing the contracts through litigation or pre-litigation procedures. Needing this is rare, but it is good to have a solicitor in your corner if you need.

A law firm offers a broad range of legal services, including property law, contracts, disputes, and more.

A conveyancing firm specialises solely in property transactions, handling contract reviews, title transfers, and settlements.

While both can assist with buying or selling property, a law firm can provide additional legal advice beyond conveyancing if needed however their fees are typically higher. 

Some conveyancing firms may not clearly disclose all fees upfront, leading to unexpected costs at settlement. That’s why it’s important to choose a conveyancer who offers transparent, fixed pricing with all costs outlined from the start. We work closely with trusted conveyancers to ensure a smooth process and that sufficient funds are available at settlement.

We recommend choosing a conveyancer before you start viewing homes. Once you find your dream home, you will want to move quickly. Having an idea of the conveyancer you want to use ahead of time will put your mind at ease when you need a contract reviewed on a property you’re interested in. 

We have partnered with LAS Lawyers, our trusted conveyancers who offer prompt contract reviews, often on the same day. Let us know your requirements, and we can connect you with a professional who can assist you quickly.

Fees vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, but LAS Lawyers offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing where possible. We can provide an upfront quote based on your specific situation.

Property contracts can include complex legal terms, special conditions, and obligations that aren’t always obvious. A review by LAS Lawyers ensures you understand exactly what you’re signing, helps identify risks (such as penalty clauses, zoning issues, or developer conditions), and gives you the opportunity to negotiate changes before you’re legally bound. It’s a crucial step in protecting your financial interests.

A retail lease typically applies to premises used for selling goods or services directly to consumers (e.g., shops, cafes), and is subject to additional legal protections under retail lease legislation in each state. A commercial lease covers other business premises like offices, warehouses, and industrial units. LAS Lawyers can help determine which applies and ensure full compliance.
