Conveyancing & Real Estate Law

In simple terms, conveyancing refers to the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person or entity to another. This process generally consists of three stages: pre-contract, pre-completion, and post-completion. A conveyancer is a licensed professional who specializes in providing advice and information about the sale of a property. They oversee and manage the transaction of the sale of a property from a seller to a buyer and manage the preparation of any legal documents needed for the transaction.
