Conveyancing
Conveyancing Services
Often resulting from property settlement as part of a divorce or breakup is the need to transfer property from one party to another. Conveyancing is exactly this; the process of transferring ownership of a legal title of property to the new owner.
Our conveyancing team offers the highest knowledge of the electronic conveyancing process in South Australia having worked closely with industry associations and stakeholders to educate and create awareness for digital settlements through PEXA. We offer services including Verification of Identity, electronic lodgement, communications with PEXA and Land Services SA, preparing contracts of sale and ensuring the process of transferring legal ownership runs smoothly.
Caveats are used to protect interests in property; they are a “warning” that provides notice of a legal claim to a property and can act as a freeze to prevent any other person registering a dealing on the property, such as selling the property or encumbering the property with a mortgage.
Property caveats are commonly used during the breakdown of a relationship (marriage or de facto). A partner whose name is not on the title of the property, may want to claim an interest in a property on account of many years of financial contributions to the property in question.

Testimonials
Thank you everyone for the great result! I really appreciate your time and commitment to my case.
Adrian
“Great day, topped off by a great result! I am still smiling. The best thing is that I have not had to let go of anything that I have worked so hard to build! This was a way better deal than I could ever imagine. A great outcome for both parties.”
Barry
“Thank you and Jeremy for all your efforts and a good result. You made me feel safe and protected.”
Carmen
I required urgent assistance with a family law matter and Jeremy Culshaw was recommended to me. From our first meeting, it was clear that Jeremy was professional and highly experienced. His deft handling of our matters resulted in an excellent outcome, and over a shorter timeframe than at first anticipated. Arianna Van de Water’s contribution was also invaluable. We are indebted to the entire team at Culshaw Bishop for their responsiveness, support, and effective navigation of the risks involved.
Jemal
Jeremy G and Jeremy C were both fantastic in advising and progressing my difficult divorce settlement which included some significant areas of dispute. They were very professional and would always respond as soon as possible to my queries and concerns. They were also way ahead of the opposing legal team and I highly recommend them
Brian
We had the absolute pleasure of being supported by Kate, whilst going through our surrogacy journey in South Australia. Kate made a potentially overwhelming and complex situation incredibly straight forward, thanks to her extensive knowledge and experience in this space. Kate was always happy to answer our questions and showed a genuine investment in our journey – which really added a beautiful human touch to the whole experience!
Matt & Brendan
I cannot speak highly enough of Kate and the team at Culshaw Bishop. Kate’s approachable, friendly demeanour, combined with extensive knowledge and experience brought comfort during an otherwise traumatic time. Kate continually went above and beyond her duty to ensure her advice was accurate, relevant, and matched to my needs. I would most definitely recommend Kate to anyone requiring family legal advice.

Our matter involved immediate and extensive work, so I couldn’t be more appreciative to Kate and her team, for their hard work.

Kate was very knowledgeable about the legal side of the surrogacy process in South Australia. She guided us through each step of the process with kindness and compassion from our initial chat right through to gaining the parentage order for our child. We highly recommend Kate for her professionalism and experience.

Have you ever wondered what may happen to your Estate in the event of your death?
We strongly recommend that your Estate planning documents be in place leading up to or following a significant change in circumstance such as purchasing property, having a child, marriage, or divorce.
We have separated, who gets to keep the pet?
With an increasing preference among Gen Z couples for owning pets (aka “fur babies”) as opposed to raising children, it poses the question as to who retains a pet in the event of separation.
Frequently asked questions
What does a conveyancer do?
A conveyancer is commonly used in property transactions and is responsible for ensuring that a property’s title is transferred from seller to buyer, while advising you on the legalities of the process.
What’s the difference between a lawyer and a conveyancer?
A conveyancer specialises in the area of conveyancing and all the legal transfers involved, whereas a lawyer specialises in a range of legal services. If complex legal issues arise in your conveyancing matter, a lawyer will be able to provide you with legal advice and guidance which a conveyancer cannot do. If the work extends beyond the scope of conveyancing work, a conveyancer will need to refer your matter to a lawyer.
How much is a conveyancer in South Australia?
Costs for conveyancing services start from $230 plus GST – although many factors can determine the exact cost. We recommend speaking with our friendly conveyancing team to see what fits best for you.
Do I need a conveyancer to sell my property?
Legally you are not required to engage a conveyancer to sell your property, however, it is strongly recommended due to the complexities and the legalities that are involved in the process. The team at Culshaw Bishop Lawyers can ease the stress of the process for you.
