FAQ
The main difference between a settlement agent and a lawyer is that a lawyer can provide legal advice on the house sale contract whereas a settlement agent is not qualified to do so.
It is common during a settlement that you will come across issues with your contract. For example, if the seller is obligated to fix a certain item that is not in working condition, or if the buyer can terminate the contract if the seller refuses to fix the item. This relates to the terms of your contract and a Conveyancing Lawyer can give you advice on this matter.

Property settlement, or conveyancing, is the process of transferring the ownership of land from one party to another. This could follow the signing of a Contract for Sale of Land by the seller and buyer; or follow the transfer of property to the beneficiaries from a deceased estate; or property settlement as part of a divorce settlement.
During settlement, the seller and buyer should each appoint an independent lawyer or settlement agent to assist them in completing the settlement.
