Why appoint a lawyer and not a conveyancer?
Lawyers have undertaken extensive education. They are not only able to advise you on the conveyancing process but will look out for your personal interests.
They are up-to-date with all legislation. They understand the complexities and legal issues that may arise in the purchase of a property and can advise you on your legal obligations under a Contract of Sale, negotiate or amend terms of a Contract and deal with the multiplicity of legal issues that may arise in a conveyancing transaction.
Why use a lawyer when buying a house?
In the event that you encounter any legal issues during the conveyancing process, conveyancers are not trained to advise you on such issues.
Buying a property may also affect other matters such as taxation, Wills or family matters. Lawyers can advise you on such matters.
Our team at Burke & Associates Lawyers is able to assist with the conveyancing and advise on other legal matters.
