What's next after your offer gets accepted and the agent sends you a copy of the contract?
You'll have to find a conveyancer or solicitor to act on your behalf as the buyer. Sometimes, the agent will recommend someone. However, this recommendation is mostly motivated by a commission which means it's better if you try to look around first. A lawyer friend is trustworthy, but if he is not a property lawyer, the experience required may be lacking.
Here are some tips when looking for a conveyancing firm:
If your search satisfies all that's mentioned above, then you're off to a good start. Remember, what you're after is a firm that will provide you with security and peace of mind. That's the reason you're paying for their service in the first place.
When engaging a firm, you must also know the services you should expect.
A solicitor should be able to:
Hiring a property lawyer, nowadays, don't need to be expensive. Before, people stay away from getting a solicitor because it always means lots of money because they have an hourly rate.
That's why LEAD has made its mission to provide quality lawyer services at the most competitive price possible.
It's basic. Solicitors provide a wider scope of work with security and peace of mind. Conveyancers can only take you from point A to point B.
Now try to imagine you're the buyer and you decided to engage a conveyancer because they're cheaper by 200 dollars. You then sign the contract and later on, you find out there are damages on the property that the seller did not fix. You also learn that the seller had a solicitor prepare the contract. Do you think you have the edge?
That's right! The fact that you wouldn't know what the seller hired makes it more of a sensible reason to get a solicitor. It's like playing poker - you'll always want to turn out on top.

Europeans arrived in 1823 when explorer John Oxley landed at Mermaid Beach. The hinterland's red cedar supply attracted people to the area in the mid-19th century.

The western suburb of Nerang was surveyed and established as a base for the industry and by 1870 a town reserve had been set aside.
