Sale and Purchase of Land

adelaide conveyancer

What you should know

Have you just bought or sold a property in Adelaide or South Australia? If so, you recommend that you use us as lawyers instead of conveyancers.

As lawyers, we are entitled to carry out conveyancing Adelaide services on behalf of clients at no more cost than a conveyancer – and let’s face it lawyers have a lot more qualifications than conveyancers.

What is conveyancing?

The sale and purchase of land involves a process called a “conveyance of land”.  Conveyancing is the process by which the legal ownership of land is changed or transferred. This includes changing the names on the original certificate of title which is the legal identifier of the land and making sure the land is transferred as “clear title” i.e. free of any encumbrances or debt.

In South Australia a solicitor or a conveyancer (previously called a land broker) is qualified to do this. Historically, solicitors have always been entitled to carry out conveyancing services, well before the introduction of conveyancers.

We can be called upon to conduct conveyancing services when you are buying, selling or transferring land for any reason, even from family member to family member.

If you are selling a property to someone you know, you will need a contract.  We can assist in this regard.
