21. Policy to Practice: What Conveyancers Should Know This Election

With the federal election around the corner, both Labor and the Coalition are pitching big housing reforms - from 5% deposit schemes to super withdrawals, and even tax deductions on mortgage interest.

But what does all of this really mean for conveyancers?

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• The four major policies aimed at first-home buyers (two from each party)
• How each one could impact contract terms, timelines, and client conversations
• What you need to watch for when clients ask about finance schemes mid-matter
• Where your role begins and ends - and when to refer to a broker or accountant

Whether these policies get rolled out or not, knowing what’s on the table helps you stay prepared, support your clients confidently, and keep conversations with referral partners sharp.
