Why Hiring a Conveyancing VA Beats Local Recruitment

1. The Challenges of Local Recruitment

Hiring locally comes with several inherent challenges:

• High costs: Salaries, payroll taxes, superannuation, and employee benefits quickly add up.

• Time-intensive hiring: Posting job ads, conducting interviews, and screening candidates can take weeks.

• Training and onboarding: Conveyancing is a specialised field. New hires often require substantial training in Australian property systems, compliance, and workflow processes.

• Limited scalability: Hiring additional staff for short-term peaks or project work is often impractical or financially unfeasible.

Even experienced candidates may not have familiarity with tools like PEXA, Realtime, Leap, or Landgate, requiring additional learning time and supervision.

2. How a Conveyancing VA Provides a Practical Solution

A Conveyancing Virtual Assistant offers many of the benefits of local staff, without the associated overhead or recruitment delays. Key advantages include:

• Immediate access to experienced professionals: Our VAs are trained in Australian conveyancing, allowing them to start supporting your practice with minimal onboarding.

• Flexible, full-time support: You can scale support to match your workload without the commitment and expense of hiring locally.

• Cost efficiency: Engage a VA without the additional costs of payroll taxes, superannuation, or benefits associated with local staff.

• Streamlined administration: My Conveyancing VA manages HR, payroll, and ongoing management, reducing your operational burden.

By outsourcing administrative and routine conveyancing tasks, you can maintain workflow continuity while focusing on client-facing responsibilities and business priorities.

3. Areas Where Conveyancing VAs Can Add Immediate Value

A trained VA can take responsibility for a wide range of tasks traditionally handled by local staff, including:

• File opening and data entry

• Search ordering and follow-up

• ATO Clearance Certificate Applications

• PEXA Workspace Management

• Client and third-party communication (under your guidance)

• Key date tracking and file management

This structured support allows your practice to function efficiently while maintaining high standards of accuracy and compliance.

4. Why Experience and Training Matter

The success of a Conveyancing VA depends on their experience and understanding of Australian conveyancing processes. At My Conveyancing VA, all VAs are trained specifically for this sector.

They are familiar with:

• Compliance requirements and settlement procedures

• Platforms and systems widely used in Australian conveyancing

• Best practices for communication, file management, and administrative accuracy

This means you don’t need to spend weeks training someone from scratch — your VA arrives ready to support your workflow.

5. Scalable, Reliable Support for Your Practice

Whether you’re a solo conveyancer or a small firm, workflow demands fluctuate. Local recruitment often struggles to provide flexibility: hiring full-time staff for a temporary peak may not be cost-effective, while part-time or casual staff may not have the required experience.

A Conveyancing VA offers scalability without compromise. You can expand or adjust support as your workload changes, while maintaining a consistent, professional standard across all tasks.

6. Practical Benefits Over Local Recruitment

By choosing a trained Conveyancing VA over local recruitment, you gain:

• Reduced recruitment and onboarding time

• Lower operational costs

• Access to specialised expertise without prolonged training

• Flexibility to scale with business demands

• Reliable, consistent support integrated into your existing workflow

This approach allows you to focus on your clients and settlements, rather than recruitment, HR, or administrative oversight.
