What is the difference between a Conveyancer and a Solicitor?

A Conveyancer is someone who is specifically qualified to work with the transfer of real estate. They give professional legal advice on title transfers and conduct official legal work to ensure the purchase/sale runs smoothly.

Conveyancers will have a stronger working knowledge of the rules and regulations in the State it is taking place in when it comes to Conveyancing because this is their specific area of expertise.

• preparation of legal documents
• making sure rates, land tax and water consumption charges are paid by the appropriate party
• arranging for the payment of fees and charges
• checking for encumbrances and restrictions on the property
• ensuring any special conditions mentioned in the contract are met

Due to the three level system of government in Australia (federal, state and local), it must be made sure that all rights and title are properly awarded to the seller. Most information is retrieved from state or local (council) authorities. A standard search package could include:

• Company search
• Contaminated Land search
• Council Property search
• Full Council Inspection of Records search
• Land Tax search
• Main Roads search
• Registered Plan Search or Building Units/Group Titles Plan Search
• Titles Search & check title search
