Between the legal jargon, contract reviews, and settlement deadlines, the process can quickly feel overwhelming.

What Does a Conveyancing Lawyer Do — and Do You Need One?

The term “conveyancing lawyer” is often used to describe professionals who assist with the legal transfer of property. In NSW, both solicitors and licensed conveyancers can offer conveyancing services. But there’s an important distinction:

  • A conveyancing lawyer is typically a solicitor who can assist with property transactions and also provide broader legal advice.
  • A licensed conveyancer, like our team at Your Move Conveyancing, is a property law specialist licensed to act on your behalf in real estate transactions — and that’s all we do, every day.

We don’t split our attention across criminal matters, court appearances, or family law. We specialise in conveyancing — and only conveyancing — so we’re with you for every contract, every clause, and every milestone.

Why Many Clients Choose a Conveyancer Over a Conveyancing Lawyer

You might be wondering whether you need a conveyancing lawyer or a licensed conveyancer. The reality is, most property transactions in NSW can be managed entirely by a licensed conveyancer — and that’s what we’re here for.Our clients choose us because they want:
