I have used Velocity Conveyancing now for my 3rd property settlement after being referred by my broker and have since referred two mates to the team in Woden and Civic and they have been amazing. Clear communication, accurate information and worked with my banks solicitors closely to make my life easier. Nothing was too hard and their price was reasonable too.

Spoke with Natasha reviewing contract for us for an auction and she was very professional in her advice warning us about issues to be conscious about. She spoke clearly about the issues and her and detailed the settlement procedures. Very happy Garry and Gail

I rate Velocity Conveyancing highly. There was a slow start to my property transfer in Canberra due to sickness, but you can't help that! Once the process started the team under Natasha were fantastic. I knew what the Velocity Conveyancing team was doing, exactly what I had to do, what the next steps were and the transfer was completed within a good timeframe.

A positive experience with Velocity Conveyancing – Natasha has a vibrant and engaging personality that is coupled with professionalism and a practical approach to dealing with legal issues that can have a high degree of complexity and sensitivity. This requiries judgement and the ability to work autonomously. I was impressed by the clarity of her explainations which was tailored to the needs of her audience. Natasha can resolve issues an deliver quality outcomes.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a solicitor or property lawyer when I buy a house?
While not legally required, engaging a solicitor or property lawyer is essential for protecting your investment. Property transactions involve complex legal documents, potential risks, and significant financial commitments. Our solicitors provide expert contract review, comprehensive property searches, and legal advice that can prevent costly mistakes and ensure your interests are fully protected.
How much does conveyancing cost?
Our fees vary depending on your specific transaction, but we provide competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Request a free quote, and we'll give you exact pricing upfront so there are no surprises at settlement
What's the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?
Licensed conveyancers can handle standard property transfers, but solicitors have broader legal training and can handle complex issues that may arise - like boundary disputes or court matters - without needing to refer you elsewhere. This gives you more comprehensive protection for your investment.
How long does the conveyancing process take?
Most residential transactions take 4-6 weeks from contract exchange to settlement, though this can vary based on finance approval, searches, and any issues that arise. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and keep you updated throughout.
When should I engage a conveyancer?
Ideally before you make an offer, so we can review the contract and advise you of any issues. At minimum, engage us before signing any contracts. Early involvement helps us identify and resolve potential problems before they become costly complications.
Do you cover my area?
Yes, we provide conveyancing services across the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and Victoria. Our solicitors have deep knowledge of local property laws and requirements specific to each state.
What's included in your conveyancing service?
We handle everything from contract review and property searches through to settlement attendance and post-settlement support. This includes liaising with banks, real estate agents, and other parties, plus handling all legal documentation and compliance requirements.
