Property Conveyancing – Cheap Quotes and Advice

 

We hear all to often about the problems of Conveyancing Companies and Solicitors offering cheap Conveyancing Fees both online and offline. It is also a problem within the Professional Industry as well given the current property market over the last 3 years.

I have been in the Industry since 1984, and have a substantial amount of experience. Over this period I have also seen the lows and highs of the property market.

Many Conveyancing Companies and Solicitors will advertise cheap Conveyancing fees as a method of obtaining Clients based on volume of turnover which in the end only turns into a disaster for the Client and Consumers. The quotes given by these Companies may not include the disbursements and government charges.

The dangers to the Client and Consumer could be overloading Staff, cutting corners in the legal process and transaction, thorough searching, researching and investigation of the paperwork, back log of work together with poor Professional Service delivery just to name a few.

The client file within the firm may also be handled by several people making it exceptionally confusing for the Client not knowing who is actually handling their matter.

When you consider the price of the property you are selling or purchasing together with what you may pay the Agent for their commission, does it really pay to look for the cheapest Conveyancing fee? I would definitely say not.

We hear all to often, but it is a straight forward property transfer. We hear this at the front and then when we received the Agreement for Sale and Purchase we discover there is much more involved. Such as Companies, Guarantee’s, Trusts, collateral security properties, further negotiations in relation to Builders Reports, LIM Reports and Final Inspection just to name a few.

If you are looking for the cheapest Conveyancing Fees and Quotes then you must remember what you pay for is what you get, this also covers paying peanuts you may end up dealing with monkeys.

We recommend you get a quote for your Conveyancing, you need to make sure it covers everything inclusive of Disbursements, Government Charges, GST and any other hidden costs which may not be Disclosed. Also query what is the Charges if the transaction does not proceed.

Are you being charged a fixed fee or an hourly rates and do you have a money back guarantee. Do not be afraid to sight any client testimonials.

We at Property Conveyancing Services Ltd pride ourselves on our Professionalism, Service Delivery and looking after each Client personally. We will never claim to the cheapest Conveyancing Company but we are also not the most expensive.

Trusts

November 23, 2009

Trusts – a Trust deed is a legal document creating a relationship between a person who places assets under the control of a Trust for the benefit of people or for specific reasons. The person placing assets in the trust are known as the Settlor, the control of the assets under the trust are known as the Trustee and the people who are to benefit are known as the Beneficiaries.

The assets transferred to the trustees becomes their property, but it is for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Trustees have a legal obligation to deal with the assets of the trust in accordance with the trust deed. Generally there will be more than one trustee of a trust.

Stay posted for more general advice around trusts. Warm regards Kim

Interesting article in the New Zealand Herald. Firstly the question would be are you an Investor, Owner Occupier or First Home Buyer? What is the Bank prepared to Lend? Do they require collateral security? How much deposit do you need? What are you looking for in the property? As you can see the questions are endless. Ensure the conditions on your Agreement for Sale and Purchase reflect your needs not the needs of others. My best advice is to research, research and more reseach. Don’t purchase on emotion as a lot of people do. Ensure you are dealing with professionals in their industry. Don’t be afraid to ask for references.
