Conveyancing 101: Property Settlement Explained
Purchasing a property is an exciting, albeit lengthy, process. Whether you’re new to the property market, or you’re a seasoned investor looking to make your next purchase, hiring a knowledgeable Settlement Specialist is essential.
Having your offer accepted by the current homeowners, or getting the go ahead to purchase your new block of land is just the beginning, there’s still a multitude of legal and financial formalities to sift through before you officially take ownership of the property. This is where your conveyancing choice becomes important.
What is Conveyancing?
In a nutshell, conveyancing is a legal process where a property/land title is transferred from the seller to the buyer. This process is usually comprised of three stages: before contract, contract to settlement and after settlement.
Your conveyancing specialist will protect your rights under the property agreement and will make sure the sales process is as smooth as possible.
Some of the actions a conveyancing specialist will undertake include:
- Reviewing the contract
- Deal directly with lenders on your behalf
- Prepare land title transfer forms
- Make sure stamp duty fees have been paid
- Arrange a suitable time and date for settlement
- Calculate the applicable settlement figures
- Attend settlement on your behalf
- Notify the relevant authorities of the transfer of ownership title
Essentially, your Conveyancing Specialist will take care of all of the legalities, so all you’ll really need to do is sign on the dotted line.
