Conveyancer careers

A Conveyancer facilitates the process of transferring property titles during the buying or selling process. You’ll perform a range of checks on behalf of clients such as title searches, future development plans or outstanding debts. A Conveyancer may analyse contracts and advise clients on possible issues or they may negotiate contracts for their clients. Your daily work may also involve preparing mortgage documents, arranging deposits and organising various payments.

Conveyancers need to have excellent time management skills. There’s a lot to organise and you’ll be dealing with many clients at various stages of settlement. You’ll need to liaise with a range of people and organisations so you’ll need to be good with communication. Conveyancers also need a strong knowledge of buying and selling property and need to have strong attention to detail.
