Questions conveyancers ask

When should checks be done?

Before you provide the service, which in practice means at instruction. AUSTRAC’s real estate rules allow some delay in limited cases; check the guidance before relying on it.

Do clients need to come into the office?

No. Most clients verify on their phone. You can still record in-person checks where that suits.

What if the buyer is a company or trust?

We pull the ASIC extract or read the trust deed, map the owners and send each person who needs verifying their own link.
