Conveyancer or Real Estate Lawyer? What is the difference?

We are often asked what is the difference between a conveyancer and a property lawyer in Sydney.

Generally speaking, conveyancers have detailed knowledge in one area of law, being transactional property law. On the other hand, property lawyers have specific knowledge about conveyancing and transactional property law, but also a detailed knowledge of the law in general. This places lawyers in a better position to advise our clients on not only all aspects of the conveyance (transfer of property), but also any other legal issues that may arise out of the sale or purchase of a property. Some common issues or additional advice we can provide or procure for our clients, when requested, include disputes over the valid rescission or termination of a contract, tax implications when selling a property (sought from a professional financial advisor), the effect that Bankruptcy could have on a person’s property, or any other Family Law or Succession Act issues that may arise when selling or purchasing a property in NSW.

In NSW, the following Acts and Regulations apply to NSW property transactions (although there are many others):

  • Real Property Act 1900
  • Conveyancing Act 1919
  • Property (Relationships) Act 1984
  • Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
