What is the Difference Between a Conveyancer and a Solicitor?

Residential conveyancing Adelaide is one of the most crucial parts of the home buying process. It is when all legal, administrative and financial matters come together. Conveyancers are trained with years of experience but are often limited to the services that can offer.

Solicitors have widespread comprehension of the law and are fully-qualified lawyers. They can help with all legal matters that a conveyancer might not know of. A conveyancer who is not a solicitor cannot provide advice on areas like property law or help concerning sales, contracts or tax. Solicitors can help with tax regulation and refer you to the applicable professionals.

If a legal debate occurs during the process of settlement, a conveyancer will not be able to help whereas a solicitor can. They can handle complicated transactions that propose more of a risk as they have the relevant qualifications.
