I would recommend that a significant part of your solicitor’s business is property conveyancing, that they are experienced in conveyancing and that they will be available to assist you. I would look for a solicitor who works close to your home or place of work, as you may need to visit their office.
If you are buying the property in a different state or territory to the one you live in, I suggest you seek out a solicitor in that state as there are different laws in each state and you want to select a solicitor that is across them.
Suggested questions to ask a prospective legal representative you are considering to act for you:
|
- Is a significant part of your business property related?
- Do you have current professional indemnity insurance cover? (All should have this, but it is good to ask)
- What are your fees and what does that cover?
- Who will be my point of contact?
- Who can I speak with if you are unavailable?
