BUYING
Buying Property in NSW
Whether you're a first home buyer, seasoned investor, or upgrading to your dream home, purchasing property is an exciting step and one of the biggest financial commitments you will make. Having an experienced conveyancer by your side ensures the process runs smoothly, from the moment you find a property right through to settlement.
What to Expect
When buying property in New South Wales, there are several key stages involved:
Review of the Contract for Sale
Before signing anything, we will carefully review the contract, explain the terms in plain English, and help you understand your rights and responsibilities.
Negotiation & Exchange
We can assist with negotiating terms (such as extended settlement or cooling-off periods), liaise with the vendor’s solicitor, and handle the exchange of contracts.
Pre-Settlement Process
We will coordinate with your lender, arrange necessary searches, and ensure all conditions are met before settlement day.
Settlement
On your behalf, we will attend to the financial settlement, confirm legal ownership transfer, and make sure everything is lodged correctly with the Land Registry.
Services Include:
Contract review and advice
Liaising with real estate agents, buyers agents, mortgage brokers, and banks
Managing all legal paperwork and compliance
Calculating stamp duty and applicable concessions
Ensuring smooth, stress-free settlement
We are here to make the process as straightforward as possible, keep you informed at every step, and protect your interests at all times.
SELLING
Selling Property in NSW
Selling your property can be both exciting and stressful. With the right guidance, it does not have to be complicated. As a licensed conveyancer, my role is to ensure the legal side of your sale is handled efficiently, so you can focus on moving forward with confidence.
What to Expect
In NSW, you must have a Contract for Sale prepared before your property can be marketed. Here’s how I help:
Preparing the Contract
We will draft and provide a legally compliant Contract for Sale, including all required prescribed documents and certificates, tailored to your property.
Negotiation & Exchange
Once you find a buyer, we will liaise with their legal representative to negotiate terms, manage the exchange process, and secure the deposit.
Pre-Settlement –
We will coordinate with your lender (if applicable), assist with the discharge of mortgage paperwork, respond to requisitions, and prepare all documents needed for settlement.
Settlement
On the day, we will ensure the funds are correctly received, the property is legally transferred, and you meet all obligations under the contract.
Services Include:
Drafting and issuing the Contract for Sale to your Agent for marketing campaign
Managing legal obligations and vendor disclosures
Liaising with the buyer’s legal representatives
Assisting with discharge of mortgage (if required)
Ensuring timely and successful settlement
From start to finish, we will be available to answer your questions, protect your legal interests, and help you navigate the sale process with clarity and peace of mind.
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
Property Transfers in NSW
Not all property transactions involve a sale. Transfers between family members, spouses, or as part of a deceased estate require careful handling to ensure legal and financial obligations are met.
What to Expect
Whether you are transferring property:
Between spouses or de facto partners
As part of a family arrangement or gift
Following a separation or divorce
Or under a Will or grant of probate
We can guide you through the process, including preparing legal documents, lodging with the Land Registry, and advising on stamp duty exemptions or concessions.
Services Include:
Preparing and lodging transfer documents
Liaising with Revenue NSW and Land Registry Services
Advising on stamp duty implications
Working with your accountant, family lawyer or estate lawyer if needed
