Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer?
A solicitor or property lawyer is a licensed legal professional who may handle all type of property related and conveyancing matters.
A conveyancer is only licensed to handle conveyancing matters. In simple terms, a solicitor will be able to provide legal advice where a conveyancer is unable to, particularly where the matter is more complex and not a “straightforward” transaction.
Can I do my own conveyancing in NSW?
Although you can do your own conveyancing, it is strongly recommended that you engage a property lawyer or conveyancer to do the conveyancing for you. This is because the legal work involved is very detailed and quite specific. One mistake can cost you a lot of money.
How quickly can my conveyancing be done?
On average, conveyancing for a standard purchase or sale usually takes 6 weeks.
Some conveyancing transactions can be as short as 2 weeks while others may be extended to 6 months. It usually always depends on all the parties involved, including the real estate agents, purchasers, sellers and banks.
What can I expect at settlement?
Settlement is the final stage of the property sale/purchase process. This is when you pay the balance of the purchase price for the property plus any adjustments as required to the vendor, and ownership of the property will then pass to you. If you plan to live in the property after settlement, you may collect the keys to the property from the real estate agent once settlement has taken place.
In NSW, the usual settlement period is 42 days (6 weeks) after contracts are exchanged but can be made longer or shorter by negotiation.
What are covenants and easements?
A covenant is an agreement registered on title that imposes obligations on its owner in relation to the land.
Covenants are common in situations where land is subdivided as part of a housing development. Developers may want to establish construction standards in the covenant, such as the minimum size of a dwelling or limiting the type of materials used for the construction of the dwelling, with the objective of maintaining the aesthetics and quality of housing.
An easement is an interest registered on title that gives a landowner who does not own the property, or a statutory authority, a right to use the land for a specific purpose. For example: right of ways where there is a shared driveway that a landlocked owner needs to use to access their property.
