Four Important Questions to Ask Your Property Lawyer about Conveyancing
Whether you intend on buying or selling a property, it’s important that you get a professional conveyancer to handle the process correctly. However, you need to make sure they have the necessary experience and knowledge to carry out the property transaction on your behalf. To separate the good conveyancers from the not so good ones, here are some questions to ask your potential lawyer .
What are your Qualifications?
Don’t be afraid to ask someone how long their firm has been involved in conveyancing for. There can be a lot of difference between a conveyancer with a few years under their belt and one that’s newly qualified. An experienced lawyer will have a deeper level of knowledge and conveyancing is an area of law that has a lot of small but critical details that you only learn after quite a few years of experience. So get an experienced representative who can help prevent problems before they occur.
What Types of Property Can You Assist With?
Some conveyancers only deal with particular property types or circumstances. For example, they may assist with houses and units and not subdivisions.
It’s therefore vital to ask your conveyancer whether they have knowledge and skill in your type of property. The more experience they have generally, the better for you. At Conveyancing Depot we have a team of property lawyers that all have many years of experience in Property Matters from Conveyancing to Property Disputes and Litigation.
How much does Conveyancing Cost?
It’s important to get a breakdown of all fees plus disbursements before you decide to engage a conveyancing lawyer.
Typically, Conveyancing prices are based on a fixed fee for professional fees. This means you pay a set amount for your lawyers work and just the costs for other fees like searches etc. This is the best model so you just pay for what you need.
Most conveyancing fees will be different for different types of properties and how involved a conveyance is. A Commercial property will almost always be higher than a house as there is usually more work involved.
Bear in mind that conveyancers cannot give you legal advice and this may be an additional expense a problem arises. Going with a lawyer quite often can be cheaper in the long run.
With most things you really get what you pay for, and conveyancing is no different. Choosing a firm with a solid reputation is always best. It is not a time to cut fees on good professional advice when making your largest financial investment.
What happens if something goes wrong?
When you are buying your home or investment the last thing you want to think of is what happens if something goes wrong. Usually it doesn’t, but quite often it can. Settlements can often be late due to banks not being ready and finances not in order. It is important to know that your lawyer will help and works hard for you if something does go wrong. It won’t prevent an issue from arising, but if you are not confident they can handle an issue then you should pick another lawyer.
At Conveyancing Depot we are not just an individual, but a team that has many years of experience in property law and litigation. We can get you answers quickly when needed. Make sure you get professional legal advice and a team that will care for you.

We live in Canberra and decided to purchase an apartment in Melbourne CBD. We contacted Conveyancing Depot are some initial research seeking a Melbourne based service. Brad from Conveyancing Depot contacted us extremely promptly, and was our conveyancer from start to settlement. Always fast to respond, attention to detail was superb, with no hitches or issues at all along the way. Highly recommend.
Was having great hassle with getting a mortgage and juggling all the issues and what needed to be done started looking for a conveyancer, after 3 calls with tired old people that didn’t particularly care or sound like they were interested in helping me out. I called Brad Mayberry up on their phone number and was instantly reassured and told of what should happen next, the rest is history after a settled mortgage.
Brad Mayberry was a fantastic conveyancer for our recent property purchase. He was very responsive and gave us some great advice throughout the process, and was nice to deal with. Thanks!
Brad was fantastic through my whole settlement. It was a 30 day settlement which landed over the Christmas period so l really appreciated his effort working on it through the holidays. All communication was clear and he was available at all times when l had questions. He helped me with questions that were not necessarily in his remit. He read my section 32 urgently as there was hardly any time before the auction and made helpful comments. The whole process went very smoothly, and l would highly recommend him.
Brad was awesome from the moment he took my call. I would highly recommend him and the team at Conveyancing Depot. Professional, understanding, supportive, kind, patient and brilliant of what they do. Thank you so much for everything.
Amy and Brad have been super helpful with our recent purchase! Super professional and easy to contact. Very reasonable pricing also!
I love working with Amy, she was very helpful and responsive. Made the entire process a delight for me with her patience and flexibility! I would 100% recommend their services.
Brad and Amy made my experience buying a house pretty seamless. Whenever I had a question they would either call or email back promptly. There was some issues on settlement day with the Vendor but they went above and beyond to make sure my needs were met and communication was flawless. I'd highly recommend using Conveyancing Depot and if I had to buy again or sell I would definitely use them again.
I would highly recommend Conveyancing Depot. They helped us out at short notice and communicated promptly via phone and email throughout the process. We are first home buyers and they we helpful in letting us know what we needed to do to purchase our first home.
They know what to do at every step; things just get handled. Fast clear communications. I 100% recommend their services. Amy was amazing and reduced my stress levels a lot.
