e.g.

Before signing any sale contract with any seller, the buyer must consult a licenced conveyancer for checking the documents to see if there are any points that might cause trouble to him/her in future.

In most cases, the buyer is the one who has to pay for conveyancing and conveyancer’s fees, and in some cases the seller may recommend a conveyancer whose fee must also be paid by the buyer.

Most conveyancers are lawyers specialised in property transactions; however, there are many conveyancers who are not law graduates but who have done some special course and got a license to do conveyancing.
