Conveyancing

What is a conveyancer?

A conveyancer is a licensed and qualified professional whose job it is to provide advice and information about the sale of a property, prepare the documentation and conduct the settlement process.

Property Settlement

Property settlement refers to the process of transferring a property from a seller to a buyer, when the conditions of the standard contract for the sale are fulfilled. In most instances before a property settlement can occur, both the buyer and the seller must have signed a contract of sale. In Western Australia, the standard residential sales contract has two sections:

Contract for Sale of Land or Strata Title by Offer and Acceptance (Offer and Acceptance); and
Joint Form of General Conditions for the Sale of Land (General Conditions).

The signatures of the seller and the buyer on the Offer and Acceptance indicate that the parties agree to the conditions of the contract, including the purchase price.
