From reviewing the contract to settlement, a conveyancer or property lawyer checks title, searches and special conditions, calculates adjustments and coordinates with banks and the other side. Most offer fixed fees.
Why property & conveyancing matters
Buying or selling property is usually the largest transaction people make. A missed issue in the contract or searches can be very expensive.
The Australian context
Conveyancing is governed by state law, with contracts, cooling-off rights and disclosure requirements differing between states. Most settlements now happen electronically through PEXA.

Understand the next step
A practical guide to property & conveyancing
What to discuss at the first meeting
Tell the adviser whether you are buying or selling, whether a contract is signed and the proposed completion date. Explain finance, ownership and any linked sale before requesting a quote.
Ask what happens if the transaction is delayed, unusual or becomes disputed.
How the engagement may progress
01
Provide the address, parties and current contract or notice. Explain whether anything has been signed and identify every agreed date.
02
Ask which terms, searches and ownership questions will be reviewed. Explain finance, proposed use and any linked transaction.
03
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.
Fees and the scope of work
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.
Dates to raise at first contact
Seek review before signing where possible. Ask about the actual dates in your documents; cooling-off and completion arrangements differ across states and transactions.
Questions to ask a property & conveyancing adviser
What review and searches are included?
Who coordinates with the lender and other side?
What is included and what counts as extra work?
Have you handled this kind of transaction or dispute?
What must be decided before signing or the next scheduled date?

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What searches are done?
Typically title, planning certificates, rates and water, and depending on the property, strata, land tax and building searches.
Lawyer or conveyancer?
For a straightforward residential purchase or sale, a licensed conveyancer is usually enough. Use a solicitor if the property is unusual, the contract has non-standard terms, or there is a dispute or estate involved.
When should I get the contract checked?
Before you sign or bid at auction. Once contracts are exchanged or you've bought at auction, your ability to withdraw is limited.
