Why LEAD Conveyancing Townsville?
“Congratulations! Your offer has been accepted.”, says the real estate agent. The next step is to get a conveyancer or solicitor to do your
conveyancing.
But how do you choose the right firm? Should you get a solicitor or a conveyancer?
Here's the answer. First, it is always a wise decision for a property buyer to choose a solicitor over a conveyancer. Why? Because a conveyancer has a limited scope of what he can do. Yes, a conveyancer is usually around a couple of hundred dollars cheaper and they can get you from point A to point B. However, it's the “in-between” that can cause costly issues and headaches. You don't have to spend a lot on a legal representation, though. Nowadays, you can get the services of a property lawyer at reasonable prices. Here are a few things you should be looking for:
- Fixed price - look for a firm that has a fixed professional fee. Searches will always be an estimated amount though so beware of absolute fixed price claims.
- Good reviews - customers will tell if they had an excellent or worst experience. Either of the two will help you make your decision.
- Great communication - one of the most important things you should look for is if a company can keep constant communication and always provide updates.
- Transparent costs - your quote should clearly lay out all costs, especially searches. It should state what they're for and their corresponding prices.
Our Townsville Conveyancing Services
Security. Peace of mind. Hassle-free.
These are possibly the three biggest things you will be expecting from your property lawyer. When you decide to go ahead with a solicitor, you have decided to spend reasonable (not cheap) money for your property.
In exchange, you expect a smooth successful transition from start to finish. Every step of the way, your
solicitor should be in control.
Security means you know that no matter how complicated the transaction may be, your solicitor has you legally covered. There may be back and forth with seller and buyer negotiations, document wording disagreements, non-fulfilment of stipulated conditions, not meeting deadlines, etc. This is the rigmarole version of conveyancing. When this happens, it's not a bed of roses.
Peace of mind goes hand in hand with security. When you have security, you have peace of mind. When the transaction gets complicated, you won't go spending sleepless nights worrying and thinking if the company you've chosen to represent can defend you and protect your interest. When you are with a quality solicitor, you know you're in good hands.
Hassle-free defines your whole experience. And that's actually one of the things you paid for. Since the whole process can really get messy, your solicitor is the one who should do the dirty work and you can go on your holiday sipping your piña colada.
At LEAD, we deliver all three and we have the
best conveyancer. And that is why more and more clients choose our firm because we know what our clients want and what our clients are paying for.

Why do you need Conveyancing Solicitors in Townsville?
It's no argument that getting a conveyancing or
property solicitor over a conveyancer could be the wisest decision you'll ever make in your property transaction.
The only reason why some people would still choose a
conveyancer is to save money. It's usually just a difference of $100 - $300. It may be a lot of money for some and will be a significant amount to save when buying or selling a property. However, getting a solicitor for your legal representation ensures your interests will be protected no matter how complicated the situation may turn out.
Also, take note that the other party will also have someone to act on their behalf. Just try to imagine if things went sour and disagreements arise, and the opposite party hired a property lawyer to represent them. You, on the other hand, decided to go with a conveyancer. Can you imagine what will happen? In worst cases, you will have no choice but to find a lawyer to defend you even if you already paid the conveyancer. You'll be spending an amount more than what you have saved and even more than what you should have spent in the first place.
