Conveyancing

Buying and selling property, whether residential, commercial, retail or farming is often the largest transaction that most people will undergo in their lives.  It is too important to get “cheap” conveyancing.  It must be done correctly and without error. At Prudentia Legal, we don’t just do “settlement” for you. We look through the contracts to find the issues before they become expensive problems and will advise you professionally. Of course, if you just want us to do the settlement for you, we may work out a basis service. The benefits of going to Prudentia Legal are that we may advise on the contract based on your situation.

Our team can assist with all aspects of residential conveyancing for purchasing or selling property. We pride ourselves on our strong track record of meeting challenging settlement deadlines and managing complex transactions.

Conveyancing can be complicated but we are well versed in the risks that could jeopardize your sale or purchase – so we’ll steer you well clear of them. Prudentia Legal does thousands of settlements of purchase and sale of properties each year. So what does that mean for you? A watertight contract, favourable terms and above all, peace of mind.
