Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of any property from one party to another. It typically involves two main stages: the exchange of contracts (where the terms of the sale are agreed upon and become legally binding) and settlement (when the legal title is transferred and the buyer takes possession).

The process ensures that the buyer obtains title to the property, free from any legal issues.
