These days, most clients prefer the convenience of "dealing from a distance". Phone, fax, email and post allow us to complete even the most complex of conveyancing matters without the need for personal attendance.
Consumers just don't have the time
Who has the time to attend appointments these days? And who really wants to anyway? Our clients are not required to attend in person at our offices for anything.
Where are you during business hours?
Some of our clients live a short walk from our office, and yet they prefer to deal with us by phone, fax, email and post. This is because most of them work in other areas, and don't return home until after hours.
Interstate or abroad?
We have many clients who reside interstate or overseas, and who rely on us for their conveyancing. As a law firm, we are able to advise on matters such as the execution of documents in different jurisdictions, and to arrange Powers of Attorney where appropriate.
Keen to meet face-to-face?
Some clients do like face-to-face contact, and personal appointments are always accommodated.

Lawyers Conveyancing offers the most comprehensive pre-purchase document checking service in Victoria.
Totally independent and reliable
As discussed under "Full solicitor representation" above, too many conveyancing practitioners are distracted by "referral" arrangements with estate agents, and cannot offer objective independent legal advice. (Few are prepared to incur the wrath of an estate agent by advising a client to cancel the deal.)
If we believe the purchase is problematic, we'll tell you. We'll help you to cancel it too, if necessary!
We back it up in writing
Our comprehensive advice, provided by a qualified legal practitioner, and confirmed in writing by a prompt email, has set a new industry standard.
Priority service
We are aware of the pressures experienced by home-buyers, and pre-purchase checking is always attended to as a priority.

Rabies is a terrible affliction. It can can quickly turn a friendly family pet into a belligerent biting beast. Commission rage can have a similar affect on real estate agents, changing them from ordinary salespeople into cruel and manipulative bullies.
Like rabies, commission rage cannot be treated. However, early detection means that a consumer can take precautions against its damaging effects.

There is little doubt that the real estate industry in Victoria is the most corrupt in Australia. This is largely due to the power and arrogance of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV). The recent dismissal of Mr. John Keating from the REIV ethics committee is an example of the contempt the REIV has for ethical conduct, and for consumers generally.
