Conveyancing Q&A: About Conveyancers and Solicitors

There are lots of Google searched questions about who does conveyancing; so in this Conveyancing Matters chat, Stu and Lorraine answer some important questions to demystify the process:
1. What is the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?
2. Are conveyancers cheaper than solicitors?
3. What makes a good conveyancer?
Along the way they also discuss the Transparency Rules, which is the requirement for firms to publish their legal fees on their websites, for those who are not in the know! We also chat about the controversial matter of being able to increase fees if a conveyancing transaction becomes more difficult and the importance of good communication – by clients and their conveyancers. As Stu said:
‘Communication’ is the biggest buzzword in conveyancing at the moment.

The one where Lorraine said: ‘When you’ve been doing this job as long as I have, nothing is new’

The one where Stu said: ‘It’s important that you tell someone about costs up front…I might be a bit controversial on this one’
