A licensed conveyancer is a specialist legal professional in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia or South Africa who has been trained to deal with all aspects of property law.
However, rather than being qualified as a solicitor, they will have completed all of the examinations and practical training provided by a regulatory body for licensed conveyancers.
A licensed conveyancer must be at least 21 years of age and be considered by the CLC to be a fit and proper person to hold a licence.
Gaining the licence entails completing the examinations and practical training provided by the CLC.
Licensed conveyancers with a full licence must complete 12 hours of professional training each year.
