This is a complicated legal process that assures that all aspects of the property transaction are in order and then legally transfers the property from one party to another. When deciding whether to do the conveyancing yourself or hire a solicitor it is important to consider the amount of work that is involved and the heavy consequences there may be if mistakes are made. Your Brisbane property transaction conveyancing is likely to be the largest and most important financial deal you are ever involved in and great care must be taken to assure that your Brisbane property transaction runs as smoothly as possible.

There are several steps involved in conveyancing that should be taken into consideration including:

• Setting up building and pest inspections
• If the property is part of a strata scheme the strata inspection report must be examined
• Arranging financing
• Thoroughly examining the contract of sale
• Paying the deposit
• Paying stamp duties
• Preparing the mortgage agreement
• Investigating possible outstanding arrears or unpaid tax obligations
• Verifying whether any government authority has a vested interest in the land
• Confirming whether any future planned development could affect the property
• Exploring the possibility of previously undisclosed problems with the property
• Calculating adjustments for council and water rates for the property settlement
• Supervising the change of title
