Appropriate legal advice is essential to ensuring a smooth property investment process.
Lawyers and solicitors provide property investors with legal advice and services relative to their investments.
In some states, a conveyancer or settlement agent can provide property investors with non-legal services related to the processes of buying and selling property.
A lawyer or solicitor can work with you to ensure all of your contracts are correct and that there aren’t any loopholes, which may leave you disadvantaged or out of pocket.
They may also provide advice and representation in the case of any problems arising throughout your wealth creation journey.
In some states, a conveyancer or settlement agent can provide property investors with non-legal services related to the processes of buying and selling property.
A conveyancer or settlement agent specialises solely in the transfer of property titles and usually is not qualified to provide broader legal advice.
As a specialist in the transfer of property titles, a conveyancer or settlement agent can help you with the transfer and settlement process of any property transaction (in some states), ensuring your contract is drawn up to protect you as well as ensure you’re meeting your legal obligations.
In addition to working on the transfer and settlement process, a conveyancer can also advise on items such as local council compliance, stamp duty, land tax, easements, and so on.
