How can we help you in your real estate sale or purchase?

​

Conveyancing is the process of transferring ownership of a legal title of land to the new owner.

Gerard Kell & Co can assist you in the conveyancing process when you:

​

• sell or purchase property for residential, investment or commercial purposes by auction, off the plan or by private treaty, or

• transfer ownership due to a death in the family or a family law property settlement decision or court order.

​

From the initial decision to sell or buy a home or investment property, to making an offer and entering the contract, through to the finalising of your sale or purchase, it is important to know your legal rights.

​
