Conveyancing Secretary Job

A conveyancing secretary is the silent orchestrator behind the scenes in property transactions. With a blend of legal acumen and administrative finesse, experienced conveyancing secretaries navigate the labyrinth of paperwork and procedures involved in transferring property ownership from seller to buyer. From drafting meticulous documents (such as deeds of sale and property mortgage contracts) to liaising with various stakeholders, they ensure the seamless flow of information and documentation. Parties they can expect to work with in conducting their conveyancing work include mortgage originators, banks lending money to buyers, individuals selling/buying houses and flats, body corporates, the deeds office and the SA Receiver of Revenue. Their expertise extends to conducting thorough property searches and crunching numbers for financial statements, all while providing clients with reassurance and clarity throughout the journey of acquiring or selling property. In essence, they are the unsung heroes who bring order and efficiency to the often complex realm of residential and commercial properety transactions.
