What is Conveyancing?
In simple terms, conveyancing is the process of transferring (or ‘conveying’) ownership or control of Real Property (land or buildings) from one party to another. The process of conveyancing can be quite complex, and it is important that the matter is handled by an experienced practitioner to ensure that all parties and stakeholder interests are dealt with legally and in accordance with the directives of the Contract.
The Sale and Transfer of land or property pursuant to a Contract of Sale falls under the area that must be completed by a Licensed Conveyancer or Legal Practitioner. Sale or Transfer of businesses and Transfer of Leases can also be dealt with by a Licenced Conveyancer, however not all Licensed Conveyancers hold the level of qualification to undertake this process. Kyleah Conveyancing is fully qualified and indemnified to undertake all areas of conveyancing work.

PEXA
(Property Exchange Australia)
Kyleah Conveyancing are members of PEXA, Australia’s online property exchange network that assists lawyers, conveyancers and financial institutions to lodge documents with Land Registries and complete financial settlements electronically.

Advantages of digital property settlements.
Your buying or selling journey starts online – with website searches, mortgage calculators and other online tools. At Kyleah Conveyancing we recognised the innovation of digital settlements and saw the benefits to our clients.
Until recently, the conveyancing process was mostly completed offline. Paperwork and postage increased the risk of errors and delays.
In fact, a study showed that 20% of settlements were delayed a median of seven days and 25% of these customers suffered financially.
These findings are captured in a specially commissioned, PwC Digital Property Report.
Digital property settlements help streamline the process for buying and selling property.
Title Insurance.
We offer Title Insurance from Stewart Title Insurance, Australia. Want to learn more about what title insurance covers? Their new video series demonstrates real-life claims scenarios resolved by their Claims Team and illustrates the value of obtaining a title insurance policy.

With the formation of PEXA (Property Exchange Australia) and the move towards e-Conveyancing, we are excited to offer our clients a service that is fast, flexible and able to be tailored to best suit their needs.
