The Dangers of DIY Conveyancing

When buying or selling property,
some may wonder if they can handle the conveyancing process themselves.
While it is legally possible to do your own conveyancing, it’s a complex and risky undertaking.
Here’s why hiring professional conveyancing services, like those offered by FNCC, is the smarter choice.
The Complexities of DIY Conveyancing
Conveyancing involves numerous legal and administrative steps, including:
- Preparing and Reviewing Legal Documents: Ensuring all contracts and legal forms are accurate and compliant with NSW laws.
- Conducting Title Searches: Verifying the property’s title to uncover any encumbrances or restrictions that could affect ownership.
- Managing Finances: Coordinating the transfer of funds and ensuring all financial obligations, such as transfer duty and rates, are met.
- Meeting Deadlines: Adhering to strict timelines for document submission and settlement.
Each of these tasks requires a deep understanding of property law and meticulous attention to detail. Mistakes can lead to significant financial and legal consequences.
The Risks of DIY Conveyancing
Without professional expertise, you risk:
- Legal Errors: Misinterpreting or improperly completing legal documents can result in contract disputes or delays.
- Hidden Issues: Missing critical details in title searches can lead to unexpected problems with property ownership or use.
