When using a DIY kit, buyers or sellers take on the risks of costly and/or time consuming mistakes, such as missing a contract deadline or failing to make appropriate adjustments at settlement.
Experience has demonstrated that a high number of those who set out to deal with all the conveyancing aspects themselves, often hit challenges along the way. They may end up engaging expensive, professional legal advice that includes fees even higher than the original conveyancing charges they sought to avoid.
Using a licensed solicitor is likely to save both time and money, as well as efforts involved in paperwork.
Hefty work is often required towards completing title searches and stamp duty—all of which a solicitor can provide to give peace of mind when you may be making the largest single financial transaction of your life.
