Well you may have heard the term of property lawyers in Singapore, ever wonder what they do or who they are?
For starters property lawyers as the name suggests, refers to lawyers for your purchase or sale of property. They are people who advocate for you during times when you may need a lawyer when it comes to your property conveyancing. They are people with the right skill set and knowledge to help you review and prepare documents that revolve around property such as purchase documents, mortgage documents and transfer documents. In general they are people you reach out to when dealing with property to ensure that everything that is happening is legal and to ensure that you do not get in trouble with the law.
Property lawyers are usually engaged and hired for a particular transaction when the deal is about to be closed with a buyer. This is to ensure that everything is for the best interest of the client and to make sure that the transaction is legal and binding. If there happens to be any disputes regarding breach of contracts or any other matter the lawyer will resolve the issue to their best ability.
You may ask well why do you have to fork up money to get a property lawyer and go through all the regular procedures? This is for your best interest and your safety. When dealing with property it is highly encouraged to get a lawyer as property is a huge asset and having a lawyer is equivalent to having insurance to ensure that no laws have been broken and that you will not face any issues legally.

When selling a property, a property lawyer will help you check on your outstanding mortgages and check if there are any penalties for early redemption. If Central Provident Funds (CPF) were used to purchase your property from the start, your lawyer will check the amount to be repaid along with the accumulated interest. The property lawyer will prepare and provide the proof of all the charges you have paid, for example; property taxes and others. During the purchase if you may have made certain agreements with the buyer it will all be recorded and the details will be drafted by a property lawyer.
