For the majority of people the property they own or lease is their biggest asset. It is worth ensuring that the person you engage to act on a sale, purchase or lease is not only economical and efficient but is also someone who knows the applicable law intimately, has an eye for detail and can pick tricky contract clauses that may cause you grief down the track.

Not all conveyancers are equal in their knowledge, experience and ready access to legal advice when needed. Best results are achieved for you when your conveyancer communicates effectively with you and provides appropriate advice as needed.

Increasingly we are finding that contract terms need to be negotiated with the other party. It is also becoming more common for a bank or building society to not be ready to complete the sale and purchase on the day specified in the contract because of Covid related delays, which can have expensive consequences.

Questions and disputes can arise regarding pest and building inspections, stormwater and services connected, easements and covenants registered on title, fences and boundaries, town planning and consent for improvements to the property, home warranty insurance, trees, valuation, state of repair or disrepair, inclusions and exclusions, land tax liability, interest for late completion, possession including potentially before completion and adjustments on the purchase price.

All these considerations are capable of becoming thorny issues that require experienced, skilful handling.

Quality conveyancing starts with your conveyancer ensuring that you understand the key points of the contract and can make informed choices. If the other side acts in a manner contrary to their contractual obligations, you will benefit if your conveyancer has easy access to legal advice on the steps then available and that are most appropriate in your particular circumstances.
