Buying and selling property is expensive – thousands of dollars in real estate commission, stamp duty, bank fees, and loan costs – who wouldn’t consider saving with a little DIY conveyancing?
It may seem like an attractive option, but remember it’s not simply conveyancing, it’s a legal framework and if you haven’t studied law, you can easily be caught unaware. Here’s some things to consider that might have you reconsidering going it alone:
#1 Costly Mistakes
Conveyancing is complex and involves a lot of legal paperwork, research, negotiations and a deep knowledge of the law. If you’re not aware of the laws and regulations that apply, or if you overlook important legal searches or inspections, it could cost you BIG.

#2 Losing Money in Time
DIY Conveyancing sounds like a great way to save money but unless you’re familiar with the legal requirements and procedures involved, you may find it costs you a lot more time than you bargained for. All that time spent researching and understanding complex paperwork and processes that could be spent on actual work that you get paid or doing things you actually enjoy.
#3 Limited Legal Protection
