Conveyancing and Property Services in Shellharbour

What Is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal work involved in transferring ownership of real estate from one party to another. Its purpose is to satisfy the legal requirements and keep your interests protected from the contract stage through to settlement. When a relationship ends, what happens to the family home is often the first decision that has to be made, and that is where conveyancing and family law overlap. South Coast Family Law Group does not undertake conveyancing itself, though we can refer you to conveyancers we deal with regularly.

If your property settlement involves selling or transferring a home and you need a conveyancer, contact South Coast Family Law Group today on 02 4202 6644.

Key Stages of Conveyancing

Preparing the legal documents: drawing up and reviewing the contract of sale, transfer documents and the rest of the paperwork so everything is accurate and clear.
Running the searches: title, zoning and related enquiries that reveal any encumbrance or restriction affecting the property before you are locked in.
Agreeing the terms: dealing with the other party over the conditions of the sale or purchase so your interests come first.
Reaching settlement: organising the settlement itself, when funds change hands and ownership formally transfers.
Once settlement is done: registering the transaction with the relevant authorities and tidying up anything still outstanding.
