Conveyancing

Overview

Buying or selling a house, apartment, land or commercial property is a significant financial decision. The conveyancing process can be complex, involving detailed contracts, searches, deadlines and settlement requirements.

Our experienced solicitors guide you through each step of the property transfer process, helping to make your transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Buying Property

When you are purchasing property, it is essential to understand exactly what you are buying and the obligations you are taking on. We review and explain the contract so you can proceed with confidence.

We can assist you with:

• Reviewing contracts and advising on terms and special conditions.
• Arranging and checking building, pest and strata reports.
• Conducting title and property searches.
• Advising on easements, covenants and restrictions affecting the property.
• Calculating stamp duty and explaining other government charges.
• Liaising with your lender regarding loan and mortgage documentation.
• Attending to exchange of contracts and coordinating settlement.

Our role is to identify any issues early, explain your options and ensure your rights are protected throughout the purchase.

Selling Property

When selling a property in New South Wales, you must have a compliant contract of sale prepared and available before the property is offered for sale. We ensure that your contract meets legal requirements and clearly records the terms of the sale.

Our services for sellers include:

• Preparing a contract of sale with the required disclosure documents.
• Negotiating contract terms and special conditions with the purchaser's solicitor.
• Responding to enquiries and requests for amendments.
• Managing the exchange process and deposit arrangements.
• Coordinating with your lender to discharge any existing mortgage.
• Attending to settlement and ensuring sale proceeds are correctly received.

We aim to minimise delays and complications so that your sale proceeds as efficiently as possible.

The Conveyancing Process

Most property transactions now settle electronically using an online platform. While this offers greater efficiency and security, it also requires careful coordination between solicitors, lenders and other parties.

We manage the process from start to finish, including:

• Checking for rates, strata levies and land tax adjustments.
• Confirming settlement figures and funds required or to be received.
• Ensuring all documents are correctly prepared and lodged.
• Overseeing registration of the transfer and any mortgage on title.

Our goal is to ensure your matter settles on time and without unnecessary complications.

Whether this is your first property transaction or you are an experienced investor, we tailor our advice to your needs and provide practical guidance at each step.
