Licensed conveyancers are regulated specialists in property transfers. They're a good fit for standard residential purchases and sales. For disputes, estates or complex arrangements, a solicitor is usually needed.
A licensed conveyancer can handle a standard purchase or sale efficiently and at a fixed price.
Conveyancers are licensed and regulated by state bodies such as NSW Fair Trading and Consumer Affairs Victoria. In Queensland, conveyancing must be done by a solicitor.
Understand the next step
Identify the transaction and ask the provider to confirm their licence and permitted scope. A conveyancer may be suitable for the agreed transaction while a related dispute or broader legal issue needs a lawyer.
Compare the scope, searches and disbursements as well as the quoted fee. Ask who will explain unexpected title issues or contract changes and when separate legal advice would be recommended.
Adelaide CBD firms can offer a range of practice specialisations. Ask which solicitor will be responsible for your matter and whether the first consultation includes reading the documents you want advice on.
For licensed conveyancing (non-lawyer), ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant SA experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Adelaide CBD. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Provide the address, parties and current contract or notice. Explain whether anything has been signed and identify every agreed date.
Ask which terms, searches and ownership questions will be reviewed. Explain finance, proposed use and any linked transaction.
Agree who communicates with agents, lenders and the other side. Confirm how documents are approved and what happens if the matter is delayed or disputed.
Separate legal fees from searches, registration, taxes and third-party expenses. Complex ownership, negotiations or a dispute may fall outside an advertised conveyancing price.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Seek review before signing where possible. Ask about the actual dates in your documents; cooling-off and completion arrangements differ across states and transactions.
