Ever wondered, what is the difference between a conveyancer and a conveyancing lawyer?
Conveyancer
A conveyancer is only trained, qualified and insured to transfer a property.
That’s where the buck stops.
By law a conveyancer cannot give pre-purchase legal advice or do any other work they are not qualified to do.
If a conveyancer does other work, and they do the work wrong, their insurer may not cover your loss.
A responsible conveyancer will tell you to engage a lawyer if they cannot do the extra work by law. But that means you’ll be spending more money to use a conveyancer AND a conveyancing lawyer.
To save money and get the skills and expertise you need from the start, hire a conveyancing lawyer.
Conveyancing lawyer
A conveyancing lawyer can transfer property AND give you legal advice by law. They can also do the following work:
- Review and give advice on a contract and vendor statement
- Prepare a sale contract and vendor statement
- Represent you if your circumstances change
- Handle complex legal issues relating to the transfer.
Now that’s value for money.
