Conveyancing and Property Services in Wollongong

What Is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process that transfers ownership of real estate from one person to another. It exists to make sure the legal requirements are met and that your interests are protected from contract through to settlement. Separation often forces a decision about the family home, which is where the two areas meet. South Coast Family Law Group does not carry out conveyancing itself, but we can put you in touch with experienced conveyancers we work with regularly.

If a property settlement means 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: drafting and checking the contract of sale, transfer documents and anything else the transaction needs, so the paperwork is correct and readable.
Carrying out the searches: title searches, zoning checks and enquiries that bring any encumbrance or restriction on the property to light before you are committed.
Negotiating the terms: dealing with the other side over the conditions of the sale or purchase so your position is protected.
Getting to settlement: coordinating the day itself, when the money is paid and ownership formally changes hands.
After settlement: making sure the transaction is registered with the relevant authorities and dealing with anything left outstanding.
