Is a conveyancer worth the cost?

Conveyancing is a complex process when several things could go wrong, potentially causing delays, financial losses or legal complications.

Some common property transaction issues include:

Breaks in the chain

In a property chain where multiple transactions are involved, if one party pulls out or has delays, it can disrupt the entire chain, impacting everyone involved.

Title problems

Dealing with problems like boundary disputes, easements (rights over the land) or unresolved debts on the property's title can complicate the process and require legal help.

Documentation problems

Incomplete or missing paperwork can lead to delays and complications. This includes land registry documents, planning and or building permit approvals and compliance with building regulations.

Property issues

A survey could reveal unexpected problems with the property, such as structural issues or the need for extensive repairs. This can lead to renegotiations or even the cancellation of the sale.
