FAQs
What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is legal work carried out by licensed conveyancers and solicitors to transfer ownership of real estate (property) from one party to another.
Why should I choose a licensed conveyancer?
The sole focus of a licensed conveyancer is on property transactions. A licensed conveyancer will not be distracted by other types of legal work. Licensed conveyancers are specialist professionals with an in-depth understanding of property law – in fact, they know property law inside out. When it comes to the legal intricacies of buying and selling real estate, no one is more experienced and qualified to expertly assist you. You can safely leave your property transaction in the hands of a licensed conveyancer, as they carry professional indemnity and fidelity insurance. This means that clients are not only getting the very best expertise, they are also covered in the event of an error.
Why do I need to use conveyancing services?
In Australia, the requirements of buying or selling a property are stringent. This is usually the biggest financial transaction you are likely to undertake. It is highly recommended that buyers or sellers seek professional assistance to ensure the process is completed correctly. It’s important to get it right, as the consequences of making a mistake can be extremely costly. There are significant processes and requirements that must be met in order to complete a transaction and using a conveyancer will help protect your assets.
What’s the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?
A solicitor advises clients on their legal rights and obligations in a wide variety of situations. A conveyancer advises clients specifically on the buying and selling of real estate through the conveyancing process. A conveyancer cannot advise or assist with any other areas of law, however.

Why invest in the Gold Coast?
The Gold Coast is a beautiful part of the world to live in and is understandably a prime target for savvy property investors.
Lifestyle
Wedged between 52 km of pristine beaches and stunning hinterland, the Gold Coast is a beautiful area to live and work. Your proximity to stunning rainforests, coastal areas and a bustling metropolis makes this city a drawcard for over half a million Australians, and over 13 million tourists every year.
Development
International developers often have their eye on the Gold Coast. With an array of impressive high-rise buildings being built, tourism and population growth is only expected to increase. On top of this, the government is investing billions of dollars into infrastructure and transport, with these upgrades likely to boost housing prices in coming years.
Property growth
Gold Coast house prices have grown steadily over the past few years, reaching an all-time median price peak. This growth is expected to continue, particularly after the attention the area received during the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
