A conveyancer manages the legal process of transferring property ownership. This includes preparing and reviewing contracts, ensuring compliance with South Australian property law, coordinating with banks and agents and overseeing settlement so the transaction is completed smoothly and legally.

Ideally, you should contact a conveyancer before signing any contract. Having us review the Contract of Sale and Form 1 first ensures you understand your obligations and prevents costly mistakes later in the process.

Both conveyancers and solicitors can complete property transactions. However, conveyancers specialise exclusively in property law, meaning we focus 100% on buying, selling and transferring property — often at a lower cost than using a solicitor.

Costs depend on the type of transaction (buying, selling, transferring, subdividing, etc.). At Distinctive Conveyancing Solutions, we provide fixed-fee quotes upfront, so you know exactly what you’ll pay with no hidden charges.

A Form 1 is a mandatory disclosure document that sellers must provide to buyers. It includes important information about the property, such as mortgages, easements, zoning and restrictions. We prepare or review Form 1s to ensure they’re accurate and compliant.

On settlement day, we coordinate with the bank, agents and the other party’s conveyancer. Funds are transferred, legal documents are exchanged and the Certificate of Title is updated into the new owner’s name. Once settlement is complete, we’ll notify you immediately.

Most contracts in South Australia specify a 30 to 60-day settlement period, though this can vary depending on the agreement between buyer and seller. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process so there are no surprises.
