  • Find your dream property, negotiate a price, ask your agent to send the proposed contract to clickconveyancing for your contract review
  • Call your chosen Conveyancer to arrange an initial consultation and get your questions answered.
  • Contact your home loan vendor to ensure your loan is approved
