Conveyancing and property law If you want to buy
or sell a home, land or investment property
youll have to sign a contract. The legal work
involved in preparing the sales contract,
mortgage and other related documents, is called
conveyancing. Although it seems quite
straightforward, property law can be quite
complex and conveyancing has to consider issues
such as contract terms and conditions, mortgages,
covenants, easements, caveats, the type of
property title, the type of tenancy, local
council regulations and zoning to name just a
few. Conveyancing involves these steps examining
the contract for sale arranging building and pest
inspections examining a strata inspection report
(if the property is in a strata scheme) arranging
finance if necessary exchanging the contract of
sale paying the deposit arranging payment of
stamp duties preparing and examining the mortgage
agreement checking if there are outstanding
arrears or land tax obligations finding out if
any government authority (eg. local council,
Sydney Water, NSW Roads and Maritime Services)
has a vested interest in the land or if any
planned development could affect the
property finding out any information that may not
have been previously disclosed such as a fence
dispute or illegal building work calculating
adjustments for council and water rates for the
property settlement overseeing the change of
title with Land and Property Information
NSW completing any final checks prior to
settlement attending settlement. While you can do
your own conveyancing, most people engage a
licensed conveyancer or solicitor. Options for
doing your conveyancing are using a licensed
conveyancer using a solicitor doing it yourself.
