Great Communication
We pride ourselves on our open and responsive communication, and in our industry, we know this is important to our Clients. It’s our job to make the Conveyancing process as easy as possible – to clearly explain things without the jargon, be proactive, efficient and to ensure our clients are always in the picture – and never in the dark.

Personal Service 
We believe that giving a personal service helps us understand your needs, and helps us to give you a more thorough, efficient service. We take the extra time to get to know you, the details of your purchase or sale and all the intricacies that could expedite your transaction.

“Does this extra personal service mean you’re more expensive?”
Not at all. We feel this is the best way for us to deliver a great service to our clients. There is no need to make appointments and spend time in Lawyer’s waiting rooms at your own expense. We offer a more convenient service by adapting to your needs and giving you the tailored service you need.

You’re in safe hands
We enjoy welcoming previous clients who come back to us time after time. Because they know we will take the time to understand their individual needs, our Clients can relax, reassured that their purchase or sale is in the best hands.

Go Greensay no to paper waste

The legal industry is renowned for printing incredible amounts of paper documents. This also leads to other environmentally impacted effects such as using ink toner cartridges, electricity and fuel to transport tonnes of paper around Australia.

There is no need – really!

At bytherules we have embraced technology and applied it to help the environment, and our clients at the same time. How ?

  • We store all documents digitally and only print if absolutely necessary. These are securely made available online for you.
  • Documents are emailed to clients, so you have access to them any time, from anywhere.
