Conveyancing

by | Mar 19, 2026

Conveyancing is the legal and administrative process of transferring ownership of real property from one party to another. It begins once a purchase agreement is signed and continues through to the final closing, involving tasks such as verifying the property’s title, ensuring there are no outstanding liens or claims, preparing and reviewing legal documents, coordinating with lenders and escrow agents, and ultimately recording the deed with the appropriate government office. The goal of conveyancing is to ensure that the transfer is valid, lawful, and that the buyer receives clear title to the property.
