Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the legal work of transferring a property: the contract, the title, the searches and the money. Solicitors or licensed conveyancers do it. The estate agent does not.
Also called Conveyancer.
Where the agent fits
The agent introduces the parties, sends the memorandum, and chases when a file stalls. Questions about title, a restriction, or what a search means go to the conveyancer. If a buyer asks you whether a covenant matters, say you will pass it to their solicitor rather than answering it yourself.
US wording
The US equivalent is handled by a title company, an escrow officer or a real estate attorney, depending on the state. Do not tell a US client their file is “in conveyancing”.
