What is conveyancing in real estate?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one party to another. It involves conducting due diligence, drafting contracts, ensuring compliance with property laws, and registering the property transfer with the relevant authorities.
What documents are required for property transfer?
The key documents include:
- Sale Agreement: A legally binding contract between the buyer and seller.
- Title Deed: Proof of ownership of the property.
- Land Search Results: Confirms ownership and whether there are any encumbrances on the property.
- Land Rates Clearance Certificate: Proof that the property owner has cleared outstanding land rates.
- Stamp Duty Payment Receipt: Confirms payment of required government taxes for property transfer.
How long does the conveyancing process take?
Typically, conveyancing takes between 60 to 90 days, depending on factors such as due diligence, regulatory approvals, and the efficiency of government offices. Delays may arise from incomplete documentation or disputes over ownership.
