ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Conveyancer

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a conveyancer is. Imagine if you wanted to buy a toy from your friend. You would need to give them some money and they would need to give you the toy. But, before you can do that, you need to make sure that everything is done correctly so you can be the new owner of the toy.

That's exactly what a conveyancer does, but instead of buying toys, they help people buy and sell houses or land. When someone wants to buy a house, they need to make sure that there are no problems with the property. This means checking if there are any debts that the current owner still needs to pay, or if there are any restrictions on the land.

The conveyancer your parents hire will check all of these things and make sure that everything is okay for you to buy the house. They will also make sure that the contract you sign to buy the house is fair and reasonable. Once everything is checked and ready, your conveyancer will help you transfer the money to the person selling the house, and finally, the new house will be yours!

In short, a conveyancer is like a big kid who helps grown-ups buy and sell property so everything is done the right way.
