What is Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person or entity to another. It ensures that:
- The transaction is valid and enforceable.
All contracts and legal documents are properly drafted and executed. - Title passes cleanly to the buyer.
The buyer obtains good title to the property, with any encumbrances (e.g. mortgages, caveats) identified and addressed beforehand. - All requirements are fulfilled.
Necessary steps like stamp duties, regulatory approvals, and payments are completed in compliance with the law.
In short, conveyancing protects your interests at every step. No matter if you’re a first-time homebuyer, an investor, or simply transferring property to a family member, having a professional handle the conveyancing process gives you peace of mind that nothing is overlooked.

Our 6-Step Conveyancing Process
We follow a proven 6-step process to make your property transaction as seamless as possible:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We start with understanding your property goals and situation. Our lawyers will advise you on the necessary legal steps, required documents, and an overview of fees involved.
Step 2: Option to Purchase (OTP)
We draft, review, or negotiate the Option to Purchase agreement to protect your interests before you commit to the deal. (For sellers, we ensure your OTP terms are fair; for buyers, we explain obligations before you exercise the option.)
Step 3: Legal Checks
Our team conducts thorough title searches and due diligence on the property. We verify the owner’s title and ensure there are no outstanding encumbrances or restrictions that could affect the sale.
Step 4: Sale & Purchase Agreement
We prepare or review the Sale & Purchase Agreement, making sure all agreed terms are accurately captured. We also manage the lodgement of a caveat (to secure your interest in the property) and liaise with banks and CPF Board if loan financing or CPF funds are involved.
Step 5: Funds & Documents
We handle all the financial and administrative details leading up to completion. This includes arranging for payment of stamp duties, coordinating loan disbursement with your bank, and preparing all necessary documents (such as transfer deeds, mortgage instruments, and completion statements) for signing.
Step 6: Completion
On completion day, we facilitate the final settlement. The buyer pays the remaining purchase price, keys are exchanged, and ownership is legally transferred. We ensure all documentation is in order and formally registered, so you can confidently take possession of your new property.

Our Reviews
I consulted IRB law to assist me with some issues that I had regarding the purchase of a property as well as some matter of my late-fathers estate. With Mr Dzuleqhmal as my lawyer and Mr Fadil as my senior legal executive, we managed to resolve all the issues in a timely manner. They were very responsive, willing to respond to my queries even after work hours. Explanations were also very clear and concise, which was very much appreciated. Even as the amount of documents I required kept increasing, they handled it very professionally and efficiently. I highly recommend this firm.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Dzul and his team - Mr. Aidil and Ms Sharmeela - at the Mountbatten Branch for their invaluable support and guidance in handling my matter. A special mention also goes to the dedicated Paralegal team: Mr. Fadil, Mr. Ghazi, Ms. Fatin and Ms. Syarah. The team has been consistently prompt and responsive to all my queries. Their explanations were clear, thorough, and made the entire process smooth and reassuring. 😃
