For most people, buying and selling residential property, whether it be vacant land, a house or a unit, will be an important (if not the most important) event in their lives. There are many aspects - financial, legal and practical - that need to be taken into account at such time. It makes good sense for a person to be properly advised before signing any contract or making any firm commitment. To do otherwise may result in difficulties and financial cost that was not anticipated or indeed necessary.
Some people are prepared to do their own conveyancing believing that they can achieve a saving. However, the cost of employing a solicitor is a minor outlay in comparison with other fixed costs of the transaction and the potential cost impact of decisions made without obtaining experienced legal advice.
At SR Wallace & Wallace, we have been providing clients with advice and assistance in the area of residential conveyancing for over 30 years. Our conveyancing section deals exclusively with residential sales and purchases to assure clients of a quality service, in a cost competitive manner.
Many firms treat conveyancing as a production line process operated by staff with minimal training and various levels of experience and competence. At SR Wallace & Wallace, although certain aspects of conveyancing have common features, we recognise that there is a "personal aspect" to each transaction and we do our best to see that the personal expectations of each client are met.
We do this by speaking with our client and working out what matters need to be covered to ensure the best outcome, both legally and practically. Sometimes this involves working with other professionals, such as financial advisors and accountants, and we have built close relationships with many advisors with whom we work to achieve success for our clients.
We like to be involved from an early stage so that we can ensure, for example, that any contract is not only technically correct but suits our client's practical circumstances. Although there is a standard form of contract, we recognise that not every transaction is standard and each are deserving of individual consideration.
The team at SR Wallace & Wallace has extensive experience in residential conveyancing and property matters. We have highly trained and experienced paralegals working closely with the supervising partner so that we can undertake the work competitively from a cost point of view whilst ensuring that our clients receive professional advice and guidance with any issues that may arise.
