The myth exists that can be carried out completely online nowadays. Whilst it is true that things like searches and HIPs can be ordered online as well as Land Registry documents, and some online Conveyancing Sydney firms will have a website where you can find updates on your transaction, certain things do have to be done in the traditional way. In particular, any documents you sign still need an original signature in ink. The law as it stands does not allow for electronic signatures or scanned images. When it comes to signing the papers therefore, if you can’t get to your conveyancer’s office, you’ll still have to post them, though they can be delivered to you by e-mail if you can print them off.
