When to engage a conveyancer when selling a house?

Why? Some very good reasons:

• It won’t cost you extra. In fact it could save you money and stress.
• A conveyancer with the backing of a legal firm can advise, before signing the contract about any disclosures* you must make to the buyer by law. You can be penalised if you don’t, and the buyer can cancel the contract.
• Your conveyancer can advise about other legalities before signing the contract so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to, and the consequences.
• It’s important when selling property to have someone genuinely on your side from the get-go, especially as a first time seller. It allows you to enter into negotiations as a seller with greater confidence and clarity about your goals and expectations. 
• To appoint a conveyancer before signing any contract could be the most important decision you make in the property transfer process.
• If you’re both selling and buying a property, the need to engage a conveyancer early on becomes even more important. We strongly recommend you speak to conveyancer before making an offer.
