FAQ

Conveyancing is primarily the process of transferring the ownership of property. However, before this occurs there is a thorough investigation and all enquires must be checked to allow the transaction to go ahead.

A conveyancer is a professional who specialises in the transfer of property. While many solicitors undertake conveyancing work, they often do not specialise. Solicitors usually charge significantly higher fees than conveyancers for providing what is essentially the same service. Solicitors are qualified to carry out work in other areas of law e.g. Wills & Probate, Workplace Relationship Law, Company Law and Litigation, while the conveyancer is only licenced to carry out work in the area of conveyancing property.

As from the 30th September 2008 Conveyancers are required to be licenced by the Business Licensing Authority and now carry specialised qualifications from an educational institution which is recognised by the government authority.
