If you are looking to purchase or sell a property in NSW, there are many service providers on the market from licensed conveyancers to lawyers. With so many options marketed these days, how can you be sure of which firm to proceed with?

Below is a guide of skills and traits that you should consider before deciding on a firm to take on your conveyancing matter.

1. Reputation
It is always a good idea to research different firms before making a final decision about who will assist you with your conveyancing process. Often, you may be referred to a firm by another service provider such as a real estate agent, a mortgage broker and/or employee of a bank, however, this does not by any means guarantee high-quality services. It is important to check the firm on their face value by doing some high-quality investigating on your own.
A good starting point is assessing the firm’s online presence or website, customer reviews or can even be as simple as having a chat with their staff to enquire for yourself. This will also provide you with an insight as to how you will be treated by their staff. Best of all, this is free and can only assist you in making the right decision.

2. Efficiency
It is important to find a firm that is efficient in delivering their services so that there are no hidden surprises that result in delaying settlement or worse, you lose out your dream home. Attention to detail is key and can prevent situations where purchasers have expected certain items to be included in a transaction which have ultimately not been secured and has resulted in disappointment. Purchasers put their trust in their lawyers and conveyancers to handle the technicalities and are important that they execute due diligence to ensure your interests are protected.

3. Communication
Communication is key when it comes to conveyancing. As most of the work is done behind the scenes, alleviating the stress of clients ultimately is achieved through transparency and important updates. It is important to ensure that you are kept fully informed throughout the process of purchasing or selling your property because any delays in the settlement are likely to be detrimental to you.
