There are three key stages to conveyancing - pre-contract, exchange, and settlement.
Pre-contract involves receiving sales instructions from the selling agent, conducting the necessary inspections of the property and preparing the contract for sale.
Exchange involves the approval of the contract for sale from both parties.
Settlement is the point where the buyer moves in.
In each of these stages the professional and qualified advice of a conveyancing lawyer will prove extremely useful as you navigate the intricacies of conveyancing and contracts.
