This is an old forum but I am still in shock at our conveyancing treatment with NO REDRESS for us. Our original conveyancing lawyer(Brisbane)top dollar did not look at our plans and sent them to us with documentation inferring if you see anything you don’t like, get a survey done. (from what I gather, no-one in Brisbane gets a survey done) Well we couldn’t see anything because we paid them to help us and didn’t get a survey done(OF COURSE). Then when the property was sold, years later. Weeks and weeks pass(two month settlement period) until one week until moving out. Unconditional for weeks, we had purchased elsewhere with no get our clause. Encroachments and easements are found on our property making us liable for them for 6 years and making us look like lying crooks(could have been huge financial implications here covering several areas). Our original lawyer(5 years previously) would never ever speak to us to help us, not available AT ALL. Now when it is sold everyone(qualified) can see problems and we are to blame!!!!!. Then our buyers conveyancers go unconditional before these faults are referred to us(Two month settlement period). I would not have sold knowing these issues(no profit was even made), our health has suffered with the extreame stress. Both of those conveyancer lawyers covering some years have questions to be asked of them. What does a person have to do, use two conveyancers to check who’s not doing a good job??? Older and wiser now, but what is this lazy conveyancing lawyers, they are just looking after themselves and I will not believe otherwise. (The very least our 1st lawyer should have looked at those plans and said I am too lazy to help you and to cover my lazy bottom, pay for a survey IT NEEDS AN EXPERT LIKE MYSELF, but I am too lazy and just don’t care???????. Still practising I see………..nice.
