New South Wales

Conveyancing in Sydney.

NSW property law is its own system. Contracts for sale with the prescribed documents attached, exchange of contracts, 5-business-day cooling-off, strata records and PEXA settlements all work differently here to Victoria.

Find your suburb below. Each page covers what actually affects a transaction in that area: the council and water utility that drive your settlement adjustments, the housing stock, and the title and planning issues that turn up again and again.

How it works in 3 steps

Step 1

Upload your contract

Upload your contract, add a few details and you’re done. No appointment to book, no credit card and no obligation.

Step 2

Same business day review

In before 2pm, back before you need it.

We’ll send you a free legal review to help you understand what matters, what to watch for and what to do next.

Step 3

Your call

Walk away, or have us run the matter through to PEXA settlement for $1,900 incl. GST fixed.

Either is fine with us.

Before you sign

In NSW you get 5 business days to cool off on a private sale, and none at all if you buy at auction.

That is the whole window, and pulling out costs 0.25% of the price. A contract read after settlement is a bill, not advice. If the property is going to auction, the review has to happen before you raise your hand, and it costs you nothing to have it done. There is no reason to be the person who finds out afterwards.

What we handle

Contract reviews

Before you sign anything, we review the contract for sale and explain the terms, special conditions and risks that could affect your purchase.

Prescribed documents reviews

The title search, drainage diagram, planning certificate and any pool documents are attached to the contract. We explain what they mean and flag anything that deserves a closer look.

Property conveyancing

Buying or selling, we manage the legal transfer of ownership, prepare the documents and coordinate every party through to settlement.

Settlement and statement of adjustments

We prepare and check settlement figures, including council rates, water rates, strata levies and other adjustments, so nothing is wrong on the day.

Electronic settlement through PEXA

Most NSW settlements now happen electronically. We run the whole process securely and keep you informed at each step.

Strata due diligence

Buying an apartment, townhouse or unit means buying into a strata scheme. We review the strata records, financial statements, by-laws, maintenance obligations and any known issues.

Easements, covenants and title restrictions

We explain everything affecting the title, including easements, restrictive covenants, caveats, mortgages, positive covenants, section 88B instruments and other registered interests that could limit what you do with the property.

Transfer duty and Revenue NSW

We calculate your transfer duty, check first home buyer concessions, prepare the documents and lodge with Revenue NSW.

NSW property law advice

NSW has its own legislation and its own processes, from exchange of contracts to 66W certificates. Our NSW team works from our Chippendale office, so you get advice from people who do this every day.

Special conditions and contract drafting

Not every contract for sale is standard. We review and draft special conditions so they protect your interests and match what was actually agreed.

Cooling-off rights

On an NSW private sale, cooling-off is 5 business days from exchange, and withdrawing costs 0.25% of the price. We explain the rights, the deadlines, 66W certificates and the auction exceptions before you commit.

Vacant possession and tenanted properties

Buying an investment property, or expecting the place empty on settlement day? We explain your rights and obligations, including leases, notice requirements and settlement conditions.

GST and GST withholding

New homes and some other transactions trigger GST withholding. We explain the obligation and make sure the right amount is paid.

Foreign resident capital gains withholding

Where FRCGW applies, we handle the requirements and the documentation needed for settlement.

Deposits and deposit bonds

We advise on deposit requirements, deposit bonds, guarantees and how deposits are held through the transaction.

Early occupation and licence agreements

If a buyer wants to move in before settlement, or a seller needs to stay on after it, we prepare licence agreements that set out exactly what each side can do.

SMSF property purchases

Buying through a Self-Managed Super Fund adds legal and compliance requirements. We work alongside your accountant and adviser to keep the transaction on track.

Why Prepared

Anyone can offer a free review. What matters is what comes back, and who wrote it.

 

Speed

Same-day contract reviews. While others wait on a callback, you are at the next inspection ready to offer.

Expertise

Your contract is reviewed by experienced Australian property lawyers who understand the local property market. In inner Sydney that means heritage conservation areas, flood notes and strata schemes, not a generic checklist.

Fixed fee

One price for the conveyancing, published before you commit. No hourly billing, no surprises on the invoice, and no charge at all for the review that got you there.

What it costs

Nothing to have it read. One price if you go ahead.

Most conveyancers charge for a review, or ask you to request a quote before they will tell you anything at all. Here is the whole thing, so you can compare without making a phone call.

Free

Contract review

No obligation, as many properties as you need for your first 90 days, then $49 a review. Back in 4 business hours.

$1,900

Full conveyancing, buying

Incl. GST, fixed. Contract through to PEXA settlement, adjustments and duty lodgement.

$300

Selling, and it does not sell

Professional fees only, plus the cost of any searches already ordered. You are not billed for a settlement that never happened.

Government charges, searches and land transfer duty are payable in addition and are set by the State, not by us. We tell you the total before you instruct.
