Mistakes in paperwork could result in substantial financial and legal consequences, such as the loss of your deposit.
Think of the costs involved with paying for a conveyancer as an investment into a successful transaction.
What are the differences between conveyancers and solicitors?
In summary, conveyancers tend to specialise in property law, whereas solicitors may provide services for a diverse range of legal matters.
If this is the case, when should I hire a conveyancer, and when should I hire a solicitor?
You may consider engaging in a solicitor for more multilayered transactions, such as when one would want to discover the tax and legal implications of dividing your assets after a divorce or dissolved business partnership. On the other hand, you may consider engaging conveyancers for simpler, more straightforward transactions - for example, if you plan on purchasing brand new real estate in Wulagi.
It is advisable to speak to a conveyancer or solicitor to discuss your specific needs. When researching, it will be worthwhile to speak a number of different conveyancers and/or solicitors to receive quotes and get a feel for their level of service.
