Questions
What is the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor?
Conveyancers specialize exclusively in property transfer law, while solicitors handle broader legal matters. We handle all property transaction aspects without requiring additional legal representation.
How long does conveyancing take in NSW?
The average process takes 6-8 weeks, depending on transaction complexity and party responsiveness. We prioritize timely communication to minimize delays during property transfers.
Do I need a solicitor as well as a conveyancer?
Most property transactions don't require separate legal representation. We handle all conveyancing aspects, though clients may consult solicitors for unrelated legal matters like wills.
Can I use Impero if I'm not based in Newcastle?
Yes, we handle transactions across NSW with digital document signing and remote consultations available for clients outside the Newcastle area.
What documents are needed to sell my home?
You'll need ID, rates notices, mortgage details, and strata/property-specific documentation. We provide a complete checklist and guide clients through each requirement.
