Conveyancer vs Solicitor
This is Such a common question we receive here at Boutique Property Conveyancing.
A conveyancer must undertake a legally recognised course or Degree to become licensed and be engaged by clients to legally transfer a property from the person who owns it (Vendor) to the person who is buying it (Purchaser).
A conveyancer is usually cheaper than a solicitor.
A Solicitor is a fully accredited legal professional. Solicitors generally practice in one or two areas solely and tend to have Conveyancing as their ‘bread and butter’ of their firm.
Meaning they prefer their other retainer clients who pay more and their conveyancing files keep the firm ticking. Yes, if a dispute arises that requires litigation a Solicitor may be able to assist however if it is not their specialty they will still need to refer you on.
In this instance you could have paid double to triple to have a Solicitor do exactly what a Conveyancer would!
Hmmm, food for thought!
In my personal experience, the Solicitors tend to take initial instructions from clients, however have no idea how to actually conduct a conveyance, let alone use PEXA!
They generally have assistants who specialise in these areas and these assistants tend to eventually do the required education to become qualified and a Licensed Conveyancer. I guarantee you, if you engage a Solicitor, it will be their Assistant who conducts the work for you and whom you deal with, not the Solicitor.
The beauty of hiring a Conveyancer is that you will receive all of the same services of a Solicitor but for a cheaper price. Should a conflict arise, you will be referred to a litigation specialist to assist you further.
Some Solicitors won’t like this description however at Boutique Property Conveyancing we pride ourselves on being honest, up front and personable.
