Finding and buying your first house is the stuff that dreams are made of. Especially for a girl, moving in to a house with the all those little nooks and crannies, walls painted in soothing colours, a quaint white picket fence, a beautiful lawn bordered with beds of brightly coloured flowers all in a beautiful and quiet neighbourhood that is near the good schools.
As a young adult, in your first first full-time job and perhaps newly married and looking to move out of your respective parents’ houses, the easy part is to find the house that makes you swoon. The background work that needs to go in prior to the purchase, along with the documentation and legal work that needs to be done meticulously before you commit money to this investment is a whole other story.
The process of drafting and finalizing the documentation required in order to transfer property is actually a specialized branch in the field of law. Formally, this is termed “conveyancing”.
Conveyancing is a fine trade, where highly qualified and specialized members of the law fraternity work tirelessly in ensuring that the land or house that you have your eye upon to buy is completely clear in its title deeds and that it comes to you with no hidden encumbrances. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, with many buyers and sellers being ruthless, all in the name of money and convenience. The job is to ensure that you are safeguarded from such headaches and that you are given all the true facts of any property or situation that you wish to explore. After all, there is nothing more wise than making an informed decision. There is also nothing scarier than the thought of you making a decision based on poorly supported data, which will sooner or later, lead to great legal complications.
This type of due diligence and document preparation is not only for those seeking to buy or sell real estate outright. Even those who are looking to rent a house, a unit or even an apartment should follow the same level of care when preparing the requisite documentation.
The single most important document in all this is the contract that the buyer and seller sign. It must be flawless, and agreeable to both parties concerned. Every important clause must be written in carefully to the contract and well scrutinized by lawyers. Furthermore, the title deeds, conditions, plans etc. pertaining to the property must be diligently attended to as well.
And this is the service that we have honed over the years and excelled at in the process.
