Conveyancing is the legal transfer of property from seller to buyer. A lawyer or licensed conveyancer reviews the contract, runs searches, arranges settlement and flags problems before you are committed. Solicitors can also advise on anything beyond the transfer itself, such as disputes, trusts or complex title issues, while licensed conveyancers focus on the transaction. Property lawyers also act in commercial and retail leases, strata and body corporate disputes, defective building work and development applications.
Why property law matters
Property is most Australians' largest asset, and every transaction carries legal risk.
The Australian context
Property law is state-based, including conveyancing, strata, tenancy, building and planning laws, with most settlements conducted electronically.
Understand the next step
A practical guide to property & conveyancing in Perth CBD
Choosing the right kind of assistance
Reviewing a purchase contract, administering a conveyance and resolving a building or tenancy dispute are different services. Explain whether you are buying, selling, leasing, developing or already in conflict. Confirm the scope offered by a lawyer or licensed conveyancer rather than assuming their services are identical.
Working with a firm in Perth CBD
When comparing Perth CBD firms, ask about the exact area of Western Australian practice relevant to your matter. For family work, the state’s separate Family Court makes it especially useful to choose a practitioner familiar with the applicable process.
For property & conveyancing, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant WA experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Perth CBD. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
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 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
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.
What does conveyancing cost?
Many firms quote a fixed professional fee, plus disbursements such as searches and registration fees. Ask for the total expected cost in writing.
