And we jump straight into it, folks! So get pumped for the 7 common & COSTLY mistakes you really DON’T want to make…

In a nutshell, what does a conveyancer do?
What is the most important document that underpins a contract?
How many people don’t get the amount of land they thought they would when purchasing a property?
