Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the act of transferring the legal
title in a
property from one person to another. The buyer must ensure that he or she obtains a good and marketable 'title' to the land; i.e., that the person selling the house actually has the right to sell it and there is no factor which would impede a mortgage or re-sale. A system of conveyancing is usually designed to ensure that the buyer secures title to the land together with all the rights that run with the land, and is notified of any restrictions in advance of purchase.

About
Conveyance
Conveyance
The transfer of the title to land by one or more persons to another or others. By the term 'persons' is here understood not only natural persons but corporations. The instrument which conveys the property is also called a conveyance. The whole of a conveyance, when it consists of different parts or instruments, must be taken together and the several parts of it relate back to the principal part; as a fine or a recovery. When there is no express agreement to the contrary, the expense of the conveyance falls upon the purchaser who must prepare and tender the conveyance. The expense of the execution of the conveyance is, on the contrary, always borne by the vendor.
