Another lovely review that absolutely made my day 🥰

Buying a home comes with plenty of moving parts, but your settlement shouldn't feel confusing or overwhelming.

My job is to keep you informed, explain what's happening along the way and make sure everything behind the scenes is taken care of, so words like "straightforward" and "stress-free" are exactly what I love to hear 🙌

Thank you so much, Hamish, for trusting me with your purchase and for taking the time to leave such a kind review 🏡

Your conveyancer knows A LOT about you 😬

Think about the information we collect during a property transaction...
🔐 Copies of your identity documents
🔐 Bank and financial information
🔐 Your address and property details

And since the introduction of the new AML/CTF requirements in July, the amount of information conveyancers need to collect and verify has increased.

So I think buyers and sellers should *absolutely* be asking more questions about what happens to that information.

🤔 Where is my data stored?
🤔 Who has access to it?
🤔 Is any of it stored locally?
🤔 What security standards do your providers meet?
🤔 Who is my information being shared with?

As a small business owner, I'm very conscious that I don't have the cybersecurity resources of a huge corporation. And when we've seen organisations with enormous cybersecurity budgets experience major data breaches, I'm certainly not going to pretend I can do it better myself.

Instead, I've been incredibly deliberate about the technology partners I choose.

The platforms I use in this business have been strategically chosen to keep that data within Australia, and my ID provider is ISO 27001 compliant 🔒

We can't eliminate cyber risk completely.

But we can take it seriously, minimise the information we hold ourselves, choose our technology partners carefully and continually ask whether there's a safer way to do things.

If you're buying or selling a property, don't be afraid to ask your conveyancer what happens to your data. It's your information. You absolutely deserve to know how it's being protected 💪

Do you have questions about data security and privacy when it comes to your settlement? Drop them in the comments, or send me a DM.

House hunting without speaking to your broker first? You might be setting yourself up for a very disappointing Saturday afternoon 😬

Getting pre-approval before you start seriously looking for a home is one of the best ways to understand what you can realistically afford.

It can help you understand...
🏡 Your approximate borrowing capacity
🏡 How much deposit you'll need
🏡 What different purchase prices could mean for your repayments
🏡 How quickly you may be able to move when the right property comes along

But there's an equally important part of the conversation...
Pre-approval is NOT a guarantee that your finance will ultimately be approved.

It can expire.
Your financial circumstances can change.
Interest rates can move.
Lender policies can change.
And the bank will still need to assess the property you're actually purchasing.

I've seen buyers find a property they love, have their offer accepted and then discover that the finance they thought they had available isn't quite as straightforward as expected.

So my advice?

Speak to a good broker early. Keep in touch with them while you're house hunting. And if your search takes a few months, check in again before making an offer to make sure the numbers you started with still stack up.

Pre-approval is an excellent preparation tool 💪 Just make sure you understand what it is... and what it isn't.

And if you're looking for a fantastic broker to support you on your homebuying journey, let me know and I can connect you with one of the brilliant ones I work alongside 🙌

There’s a very deliberate reason North Shore Conveyancing is a boutique business… and why I intend to keep it that way 🫶

When you engage me, you get me.

If you call, I answer the phone. If you have a question about an offer while you’re standing at a home open on a Saturday, you can text me. If you’re completing paperwork at night and something doesn’t make sense, you know exactly who to ask 📱

I deliberately keep my client numbers manageable because I don’t want to run a high-volume conveyancing business.

I want to know what’s happening with your settlement. I want to have time to answer your questions. I want to respond quickly when something comes up. And I want you to feel like you can actually reach me when you need me.

Most importantly, I want you to receive the same consistent, personalised service from the moment you make your first enquiry right through until settlement day 🔑

For me, choosing to be a boutique conveyancer is about choosing quality over quantity, every single time. And that’s exactly how I want North Shore Conveyancing to stay 🙌

This concept came up on a recent Perth property podcast, and I'm now hearing it from a lot of my clients, which I find super fascinating...

It's the concept of whether you've 'lost money' if the market drops before you sell.

Say, for instance, your property was worth $1mil 3 months ago, but now you've gone to sell it, and the only offers you're getting are in the low $900s. Have you lost $100,000? 💰 You never actually had that $1 million. It was simply what someone may have been willing to pay at a different point in time.

But does it still sting knowing what you could have sold for? Absolutely 😬

With spring approaching, we're likely to see more properties hitting the Perth market, and I think this concept becomes really interesting for sellers.

You can look at what your neighbour sold for six months ago. You can look at the suburb record. You can remember what an agent told you your property might achieve earlier in the year.

But none of those things *actually* determine what your home is worth today.

Ultimately, your property is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it at the time you're ready to sell 🏡

I find the psychology of this so fascinating. We become anchored to a number that may never actually have been ours, and anything below it can suddenly feel like a loss.

I'd genuinely love to know where you sit on this one: if you could have sold for $1 million three months ago but sell for $900,000 today... have you "lost" $100k?

Phew 😮‍💨 it's been a hot minute since I've shown up here (in part thanks to losing my voice last week 🫠), but I'm back, and I wanted to answer one of the most common questions people ask me when I tell them I'm a conveyancer... 'What's that?'

In the simplest terms, my job is to get the property legally transferred from the seller to the buyer, and make sure the money ends up where it needs to go.

But there are quite a few moving parts involved in making that happen 😅

There are title searches, rates and taxes enquiries, stamp duty, banks, mortgages, compliance requirements, compliance requirements, and more compliance requirements, settlement documents, deadlines, conversations with the other conveyancer… and plenty of checking and double-checking along the way.

You might liken my role to being the project manager for your property transfer 💪

I keep track of what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and who needs to do it. And if something isn't happening when it should be? I'm following it up.

The whole point is that you *shouldn't* need to understand every little thing happening behind the scenes. You just need to know that I've got it handled 🙌

And hopefully, before you know it, you'll get my favourite phone call to make...
"Congratulations! Settlement is complete. You can pick up the keys!" 🔑🏡

Another day. Another heartbreaking story of a family losing their home savings to scammers 💔

The scary part? These emails don't look fake anymore.
They no longer reference your inheritance from a Nigerian Prince.

They're well written.
They use real names.
They reference your real property.
And, sometimes they even appear to come from someone you trust.

That's exactly why we have one simple, non-negotiable rule at North Shore Conveyancing:
❌ We will NEVER email our trust account details to you.

Ever.

Instead, we provide our trust account details over the phone or through a secure app. It might seem like an extra step, but it's one of the most important ways we help protect our clients.

Email compromise scams continue to target property transactions because scammers know large sums of money are changing hands. Australians lost more than $2 billion to scams in 2025, with business email compromise remaining one of the most devastating types of fraud.

Please don't ever feel embarrassed or that you're wasting my time when you pick up the phone to verify payment details.

In fact, I encourage it. That 30-second phone call could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If you know someone who's buying or selling a property, please share this post with them. The more people who know what to look out for, the harder we make it for scammers to succeed 💪

Sometimes, things don't go to plan 😩

Last month, I was contacted by a buyer whose conveyancer could no longer complete their settlement. With only two weeks until their settlement date, you can imagine the stress and uncertainty they were feeling.

The priority for me was simple: get everything under control as quickly as possible 💪

Within a day, we had all the paperwork signed, their onboarding completed, and a clear plan in place. From there, I was able to take over the transaction, keep everything moving behind the scenes, and ensure settlement took place on time, as planned.

Reading this review afterwards meant so much to me.

The part that really stood out was that they felt a sense of security knowing someone was looking after everything for them.

👉 🫶 That's exactly what I strive for with *every* client experience when they choose North Shore Conveyancing.

If you're buying or selling, or even if you've found yourself in an unexpected situation, I'd love to help.

Last week was my annual CPD training, and I have to say... it was a nice change not having to make the annual trek to Vic Park! Joondalup Resort was a much prettier (and closer) venue for this year's sessions 🙌

Now, I actually had wonderful intentions of filming some content at the beautiful Joondalup Resort. But alas, I did not (too busy catching up with some wonderful industry colleagues). So you'll have to enjoy today's work-from-home selfie ✌️

This year's CPD topics included...
📚 Trusts & Superannuation
📚 Fraud & Scams
📚 Risk Management

The fraud and scams session was a particular highlight, with plenty of practical ideas that I'll continue to implement to help better protect both my clients and North Shore Conveyancing.

While CPD is a compulsory part of being a licensed settlement agent, I genuinely enjoy these opportunities to keep learning. Legislation changes, cyber threats evolve, and best practice is always improving. Staying up to date means I can continue providing the safest, most secure service possible.

Because when you trust me with one of the biggest financial transactions of your life, I believe you deserve someone who's committed to learning, improving, and continually raising the bar 💪

Now... time to put last week's learnings into practice! 🤓
