Sydney conveyancer

Lotana;
I have bought 2 IP's with the help of a Manly based Solicitor named Paul Tocchini.
Several times I have called him on a saturday afternoon asking him to come to a particular property and provide me with advice -every time he has dropped what he was doing and provided excellent advice (including walk away when we were getting mucked around in a dodgy private sale)
His rates are reasonable and I've never been given the 'he's in a meeting......out at lunch..etc etc' from his secretary
Cheers
Sam

Dear Sim,
Now that would be a conflict of my best interests wouldn't it?
Solicitors/Conveyancers can certainly do interstate conveyancing. The real two issues however is that 1) Property Laws are slightly different in each state. (Just a little bit more to read on each state.) and 2) Interstate conveyancer means there is still a need for someone to physically distribute the cheques etc and actually attend settlement on your behalf.
You would think that sometime soon that a settlement could be all electronic and therefore not needed to be done in person. Sometimes I wonder why we still have cheques in existence? Maybe the banks want that 3 days worth of interest from holding our funds in the middle (of course not with bank cheques however.)
Should there be further change in the actual process of settlements to reduce costs and make it more efficient?
Cheers,
Sunstone.
