The transfer of title of property to another person, if one is selling or buying from another person, is generally said to be the process of conveyancing. From the time one starts entering into the contract, in most cases, conveyance starts at this point. As various conditions such as finance approval and building inspections are satisfied, leading to settlement where important legal documents are exchanged along, with the payment of the purchase price of course, it continues through the duration of the contract.


The registration of the transfer of the property takes place at the Land Titles Office which gives one the legal title to the property, shortly following settlement. Upon the successful registration of the transfer of ownership of the property, the conveyancing process concludes. Even after settlement, there can also be terms in the contract which may require one or other parties to perform certain obligations. Things such as special conditions requiring further action could be included.


The choice of a settlement agent is vital when buying or selling real estate. This decision ...
... is not to be made by the real estate agent but by oneself. Rather than have one that has a financial relationship with a real estate agent, is to have an independent settlement agent acting on your behalf as there are compelling reasons.

When dealing with the settlement of the property, their confidence in the ability to deliver exceptional service at all times provides the client with peace of mind.
