conveyancer

Seems like the point of the conveyancer is to prevent this sort of thing.

I mean, other than real estate agents, solicitors / conveyancer, and the initial citizen who sold the property.

Once you've selected a property you hire a conveyancer who handles title search and almost all the paperwork.

Not a single agent, conveyancer or bureaucrat in the entire process ever tried to stop it from happening.

And yet my conveyancer (WA) last year still tried to hock me some expensive additional title insurance.

However, in the event of an off-market cash transaction, a lot fewer parties are involved - potentially just a conveyancer/solicitor.

Does the buyer's agent in the US handle the role of a conveyancer in sorting paperwork of the final sale?

Others have had entire sales fall through because the same conveyancer took so long.

If someone posed as a verified conveyancer and built a fake profile, payed legitimate businesses and entities off for positive testimonials etc.

You then get a conveyancer (a lawyer) on each side to actually do the work, and they usually work for a fixed fee.

Either way, you will need to find a competent conveyancer, one that is paying attention and actually reads the contract and leasehold agreement.

The new lender has their own conveyancer who should be handling things.

Arguably you'd want the conveyancer anyway to go through the legal concerns, and clearly "blockchain" solutions are not the only possible solutions - simply digitising them and making them available and sensibly organised would be fine.
