2. In 1976 members of the Land Reform Committee within the Australia Party (forerunners of the Australian Democrats, but with no political connection to them) introduced a step by step conveyancing kit in NSW and Victoria. A Queensland kit followed two years later. • In the 1970s solicitors were charging a scale fee for conveyancing. This depended on property value, not on work done. In 1979 we formed an associate company in NSW called Flat Fee Conveyancing Service. With others, we overturned this unfair scale fee practice. • This enraged the legal profession. Solicitors can and do enter every TRADEand profession without qualification or experience. When outsiders do the same to their profession, all hell is let loose. Why the outrage in this case? Because we had burst the mysterious bubble around what a solicitor actually does in the conveyancing transaction. What do they do? Since establishment of Torrens title in the 1850s, the answer is 'very little'.

3. Tips for do-it-yourself conveyancers • We educate and empower people to simply, safely and legally perform their own routine legal procedures.  We continually improve our Products for the benefit of our clients. • For simplicity, the kits refer to the 'buyer' or 'purchaser' and the 'seller' or 'vendor' (depending on the forms used in your state). Find out whether the other party is employing a solicitor/conveyancer or doing their own conveyancing. If the other party is not acting for themselves, you deal with the appointed solicitor/conveyancer (or, more likely, their clerk). • Keep copies of all correspondence. • If you find the other party’s solicitor/conveyancer is being uncooperative or obstructive, discuss this directly with the other party. Advise the other party that it is causing delays and extra costs.

4. What is Conveyancing? Conveyancing simply means changing the name on the Certificate of Title from the seller to the buyer on the purchase of real estate. The Certificate of Title refers to the land (or 'air space' for Strata title), not to buildings or other 'improvements'. Before you transfer the Certificate of Title, you need to make sure that you have a clear understanding of the state and condition of any buildings. The conveyancing process includes steps to make sure the transaction is correct for both buyer and seller, and that any outstanding monies, such as rates, taxes and levies, are cleared at settlement. In Western Australia and South Australia, solicitors do very little conveyancing work. In the eastern states of Australia, solicitors still do conveyancing, but for a lower fee than before. Conveyancing is in the category of 'routine law'. For nearly fifty years, in New South Wales, conveyancing has been an optional Law degree subject. Less than 50% of law students study this option. These enable you to do conveyancing, refinancing and discharging a mortgage without employing a solicitor.
