Choosing The Right Conveyancing Attorney Can Aid in a Smooth Transfer Process
- Choose the right conveyancer
The seller / owner of the property is at full liberty to choose a Conveyancer or Conveyancing Firm to attend to the transfer of their property.
If neither party has any preference with regards to a Conveyancer / Conveyancing Firm to use, and there is an estate agent involved, the estate agent has created relationships with certain Conveyancers / Conveyancing Firms and can suggest who to go with. Still, at the end of the day, the seller has the final say as to which Conveyancer / Conveyancing Firm they wish to use.
- Avoid any possible uncertainty
Clearly record your choice of attorney in your written sale agreement before all parties sign. Otherwise, you could be opening the door to dispute.
- Bring your attorney into the picture from Day One
Sellers, in particular, should remember this basic principle – agree to nothing (verbally or in writing) until your lawyer has checked it out for you! A lot can go wrong with property sales, especially through the wording and signing of the sale agreement itself.
