This is the second time I have used Ownit Conveyancing. The first was buying my property and the most recent selling it. Besides the really low fees the staff there are really helpful and get you through the sale of your property with as little stress as possible. They also keep you updated on the process and are easily reachable when you have any questions. I highly recommend Ownit Conveyancing and will definitely be using them again.

Engaged Ownit Conveyancing for the purchase of our new home. Chelsey was absolutely fabulous. She was professional, friendly, understanding and patient. No question was a bother. Chelsey made the process easy, explained things simply when needed and ensured the settlement went to plan. We couldn't have asked for a better person or company to handle the our purchase. Further to this, it is excellent pricing, without compromising quality. If we sell or buy again, we will use them. We highly recommend Ownit Conveyancing. Thank you.

Katie Wheeler, the paralegal attended to the sale of my property which went rather smoothly. She always responded to my calls and emails and was professional in her approach. I greatly appreciated her work ethic and attention to detail.

Just made a purchase with Ownit and dealt with Chelsey. I found her to be knowledgeable, friendly, polite and easy to communicate with. She responded to all my communications in a timely manner. Recently used another company and there was no comparison. Also very affordable.Thanks Chelsey and Ownit.

Ownit Conveyancing were extremely helpful. My real estate recommended Ownit an as they were not local i was a bit concerned however I did not have to worry, Jessica answered all my questions either by phone, email or texts. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend Ownit and the cost was very competitive as well.
