Why your choice of conveyancer matters – and what you need to know about the process.


When buying or selling a property, there’s one crucial step that often gets overlooked in the excitement, choosing the right Conveyancer. At Duvenage Attorneys, we understand that property transactions are among the most significant financial decisions you’ll ever make and we’re here to ensure they’re handled with clarity, care, professionalism and with any undue delay.


Understanding Conveyancing

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from the Seller to the Buyer. It involves a series of essential checks, compliance requirements, financial transactions, and registrations that must be completed accurately and on time.


Whether you're purchasing your dream home or selling an investment property, having a skilled legal team managing this process is key to avoid costly delays and legal complications.


Your Legal Right: Choose Your Own Conveyancer

One of the most important but often misunderstood facts about Conveyancing is this: as a Seller, you have the legal right to choose your own Conveyancer.

Too often, this decision is left to estate agents or assumed to be made by the Buyer, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Sellers can and should appoint a Conveyancing Attorney they trust, someone who will act in their best interests from start to finish.


At Duvenage Attorneys, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge and offering a service that is transparent, efficient, and driven by your needs.
