FAQConveyancing questions, answered
What is conveyancing and why is it important when buying property?+
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from seller to buyer. It includes checking the contract, running searches, and ensuring there are no hidden risks. For investors, having the right conveyancer means peace of mind that your purchase is legally sound and settlement runs smoothly.
Do I need a conveyancer if I'm using a buyer's agent?+
Yes. A buyer's agent sources and negotiates the deal, while a conveyancer ensures the contract protects you. At Citadel Agency, we work hand-in-hand with specialist conveyancers so every property is legally checked before you sign.
Can you recommend trusted conveyancers?+
Absolutely. We partner with independent, investor-focused conveyancers across Australia. They know the process inside out and help our clients avoid costly mistakes like unfavourable clauses, incorrect titles, or hidden charges.
Can you review the contract before I sign?+
Yes and you should never sign without a review. Our partner conveyancers check all special conditions, zoning issues, and settlement terms to protect you from risk before you commit.
Do I still need conveyancing if I'm buying off-market?+
Yes. Whether the property is off-market or listed online, the contract and legal transfer process remain the same. Every deal needs professional conveyancing to ensure compliance and protection.
What happens if an issue is found in the contract?+
If a risk or unfair clause is identified, your conveyancer will negotiate amendments on your behalf or advise you to walk away. This is where having the right team ensures you never buy a property that could cost you long-term.
Do you handle settlement on my behalf?+
Yes. Our conveyancing partners liaise with banks, brokers, and solicitors to make sure funds are transferred, documents are lodged, and settlement occurs without delays. You don't need to stress, it's all handled for you.
