Should I Use a Real Estate Lawyer When Buying or Selling Real Estate Property?

Buying or selling a home or commercial property is an exciting time, but with it comes overwhelming responsibilities. Seeking expert guidance from a real estate lawyer will ensure your stress is minimized, leaving you to enjoy the excitement instead.

What is Real Estate Conveyancing?

Real estate conveyancing is the process of transferring ownership of a property from one individual to another. While the process may sound fairly simple, the conveyancing process can be a fairly complex and time-consuming process which may be better managed by your real estate lawyer.

The Real Estate Conveyancing Process

At De Novo Law Corporation, our team of professional real estate lawyers and conveyancers are prepared to handle any residential real estate deal. Your real estate purchase or sale will first proceed through our lawyers' intensive due diligence process to ensure that your legal risks are mitigated or reduced. Following our review, our real estate lawyers may even identify potential tax savings that may be applicable to your real estate transaction. Our real estate team will coordinate with your real estate agent and all parties involved to ensure that your real estate transaction is ready to complete on closing day.
