Hoping someone has some recommendations / experience with conveyancing in Sydney.
We're looking to sell soon and need to draw up a contract of sale. From what I can see $1200 is about the norm but I was hoping someone might have recommendations for somewhere a bit more affordable.
I've looked through the DIY process but the sale and purchase process is stressful enough so I'm OK with spending a little on this bit - just trying to minimise it.
Any thoughts would be great, thank you
My few experiences have been better with a conveyancer than a solicitor. They are two different things, they can do the same job, but conveyancers can only do that 'conveyancing', solicitors are lawyers that do other things and conveyancing is just a cash cow they churn and burn on the side.
Edit: Can't help you on price, but in all honestly a potential $500,000 + property transaction wouldn't you just spend $1,200 for peace of mind? What can you realistically save? $200 or $300 max.
Just out of interest, when looking for a real estate agent, did you look for the best one (for your needs) or the cheapest one?
Neither really. We went with the least smarmy and slick one who we dealt with when inspectiong a prior property.
I confess to not knowing a huge amount about the process of drawing up a contract of sale but it seems like a fairly generic process that has minor tweaks based on your needs, so I don’t expect you need someone with years of experience
Message me if you need a Licenced Conveyancer in Sydney CBD.
As an update, we found a great guy. Really helpful and excellent price.
