The 0.25 percent increase to 0.35% means that today many homeowners are experiencing their first ever interest rate rise, which can be scary given that the cost of living is rising too.

How does the recent RBA interest rate rise affect you?

Do you know what the right to ‘cool off’ means when purchasing a property?

The Australian Institute of Conveyancing SA has put together some information to explain the process – read about it here: https://aicsa.com.au/cooling-off-rights/ 

Alternatively, please contact the Distinct Conveyancing Blackwood Office on (08) 8278 3351 to discuss your situation with a Registered Conveyancer

A question we are asked a LOT is – can I choose my own conveyancer?

Yes – when buying and selling property you have the right to appoint your own conveyancer to represent you.

The Real Estate Agent may encourage you to consult their recommended conveyancer, however the choice of who represents your interests is entirely up to you.

At Distinct Conveyancing, your Registered Conveyancer will guide you through the settlement process, and make sure your legal interests are protected each step of the way.
