F.A.Q.s About Conveyancer For First Home Buyers
Why do first home buyers need a conveyancer?
As a first home buyer, you’re in a particularly unique situation – you’re about to make one of the biggest financial commitments in your life for the very first time. Think of a conveyancer as your guardian angel throughout this important transaction – JKA & Co especially ensure your interests are protected at every stage of the purchase.
In South Australia this can involve review of:
- Contract of Purchase
- Form 1
- Mortgage Documentation
- First Home Buyers Grants & Approvals
Some conveyancers are stuck in the dark ages, using outdated paper lodgements – JKA was one of the first Conveyancers in SA to transition to PEXA and 100% paperless settlements. In other words our conveyancers have had 3+ years additional experience on the PEXA platform compared to other firms.
With JKA, you can expect a completely conveyancing journey.
