Buying Land
Do I need a conveyancer when buying land?
Short answer
Yes. A conveyancer (or property lawyer) reviews the land contract, orders and reviews Section 7 statements, coordinates with your bank, pays stamp duty, and lodges the transfer at Lands Titles. In SA, expect $800-$1,800 for new land conveyancing. For a house and land package, you use two conveyancers: one for the land contract and typically your builder's nominated one for the build contract, or a single one for both.
Buying untitled or unregistered land can be risky if you don’t know what to look out for. In this episode, we unpack the pros and cons, key timing risks, and the critical steps you must take before committing. Don’t buy blind - tune in first.
