What is conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal transfer of a property from one owner to another. It ensures that when you buy or sell a property, everything is legal and you get the property you paid for at the agreed price. Conveyancing starts when an offer is made on a property or when a seller accepts an offer and lasts until completion day when keys for the property and contracts are formally exchanged.
