Are you selling your home and then buying another one?

Selling and then purchasing a new home is very exciting, but the complex conveyancing process can potentially be stressful and confusing. That’s where Pax Law comes in – we are here to make the transactions as smooth as possible. We at Pax Law can help the process of the residential real estate sale followed by a purchase efficient and smooth as possible. 

When we receive the conveyancing instructions from the realtor, and signed contract of purchase and sale, we take it from there. We handle the due diligence process, preparing the transaction documents, transferring funds and holding them in trust as required, paying out any existing mortgages or other charges and providing proof, and obtaining the discharge of mortgage so you can complete the financing on your next property.

We prepare and review legal documents relating to real estate, negotiate the terms and conditions of the transactions, and facilitate the transfer of titles. All our real estate lawyers are equipped with excellent negotiation and analytical skills; they are organized, professional, and well-informed. They ensure that real estate transactions are legal, binding, and in the best interest of the client that they represent.
