It is most common for people to engage a conveyancer once the contract of sale has been signed by all parties.
However, if you are buying a property, we encourage you to speak to us before signing if you want independent advice on the terms and conditions of the contract being offered to you.
If you are selling your property, and you wish for us to prepare the Vendor Disclosure Statement (Form 1) instead of your real estate agent or a practitioner chosen by them, then speak to us as soon as possible after deciding to sell your property. A Vendor Disclosure Statement takes some time to prepare, and needs to be provided to the buyer with the Contract of Sale if the cooling off period is to take effect.
