The initial reason you would be contacting a conveyancer is when you were purchasing a property. A conveyancing firm will handle the transfer of the title of the land 
you are purchasing from the name of the seller into your name. You will be charged conveyancing fees but this fee may also cover legal advice. A conveyancer can also handle a range of duties for you in regards to buying a property such as making sure the building is insured, which would include fixtures like solar panels.
Transfer of the properties title
The main duty of the conveyancer is to transfer the property title into the name of the purchaser. By using a conveyancer the process is simplified for you as they will send you a completed contract which you will then sign and send back. You can undertake the transfer of the property title yourself but this is not usually recommended as it involves dealing with the government at both state and local levels and handling complex legal processes. For the sake of the problems that could arise and the time it may take you, you are better off paying the conveyancing fees.
What affects your property
Your conveyancer can also do some checks on the property for you such as whether it complies with state and local laws, see if it is affected by land tax, water rates or any extra council duties. They will handle the stamp duty on the property and even make sure that the building has been checked for pests.
Avoid mistakes
A conveyancer will make sure the process of purchasing your new property will run smoothly and that nothing is missed. If you handle the process yourself you run the risk of forgetting things and you cannot afford to make mistakes when it comes to legal documents such as contracts. It takes a professional to be able to handle these processes properly, and even if you have the ability it would take too much time for you to even get up to speed with the workings of the industry to handle the job property before you even got to dealing with the contracts.
Auction
If the property you are thinking of buying is going to auction you can even ask if they will do the bidding for you. Auctions can be quite scary, particularly if it is your first one, and a conveyancer can give you the right advice and take care of the bidding for you. It can be good idea to have someone bidding for you who knows your financial limit and who will not get carried away, as you might if you really want the property and find yourself bidding beyond your means.
Advice
A conveyancer can give you other legal advice in regards to your purchase of your new property. Through buying a new property you may affect any pensions you might be receiving, or there could be implications to your tax payments. They can give you advice if your property has been purchased as an investment and you may even need to change your will.
