There also a conveyancer required to handle the actual transfer of the money and legal documents. At one point all the parties would have a rep that would physically meet up and hand over paperwork and cheques, but I presume it's all electronic these days.
in our case the conveyancing shash was also handled by the broker. I cannot express enough how much to get one. All the bullshit is Not Your Problem.
That would be good. My brief stint at home ownership was about 25 years ago and I don't think brokers existed at that stage - there weren't many options for loans either, you really just went to the bank you had your account with. It's all changed so much.
This sounds good. An advocate was already in mind both would save brain big time.
