There are a few key reasons why you might choose to use a lawyer rather than a conveyancer for your property transaction:

Advice on other legal matters: If you have questions or concerns about other legal matters related to your property transaction, a lawyer can provide you with comprehensive legal advice. For example, if you are buying a property and have questions about your rights and obligations as a landlord, a lawyer can provide guidance on these issues.
Representation in court: If you need representation in court, a lawyer is the only professional who is qualified to provide this service. If a dispute arises during your property transaction and you need to take legal action, a lawyer can represent you in court and provide the necessary legal representation.

A caveat is a legal notice that is placed on a property's title to protect the interests of the person who lodged the caveat (the caveator). It is a way for a person to assert their rights in relation to a property and prevent the property from being sold or otherwise dealt with without their knowledge or consent.
In order to lodge a caveat, the caveator must have a legal interest in the property, such as a right to occupy the property or a right to receive payment from the sale of the property. The caveator must also have a reason to believe that their interest in the property may be at risk if the caveat is not lodged.
Once a caveat has been lodged, it will remain in place until it is removed by the caveator or a court order is obtained. If a caveat is in place, it can affect the ability of the owner of the property to sell or mortgage the property.
If you are considering lodging a caveat on a property or if you believe that a caveat has been wrongly lodged against your property, it is important to seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer. They can advise you on the appropriate steps to take and assist you in protecting your interests.

A disbursement is a cost or expense that is incurred by a professional or business on behalf of a client. In the context of conveyancing, disbursements may include fees for services such as searches, certificates, and other items that are necessary to complete the conveyancing process.
Disbursements are typically separate from the professional fees charged by the conveyancer or lawyer for their services. The conveyancer or lawyer will typically provide an estimate of the disbursements that will be incurred as part of the conveyancing process, and the client is responsible for paying these costs in addition to the professional fees.
Disbursements may vary depending on the specific requirements of the conveyancing transaction and the laws and regulations that apply in the jurisdiction where the property is located. It is important to be aware of the disbursements that may be incurred as part of the conveyancing process and to budget accordingly.
