Conveyancing refers to the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. It involves a series of steps, such as reviewing contracts, conducting searches, ensuring compliance with regulations, settling finances, and registering the change of ownership with the appropriate authorities. Our role is to guide you through this process and protect your legal interests at every stage.

A property transaction involves a lot of legal and regulatory requirements, and mistakes can be costly. A conveyancer or property lawyer ensures that:

• Contracts are carefully reviewed to protect your rights.

• Any risks or issues, such as unpaid rates, easements, or potential disputes, are identified and resolved.

• The transaction is completed efficiently and in compliance with all legal obligations, giving you peace of mind.

The conveyancing process generally includes:

• Reviewing the Contract for Sale.

• Conducting searches (e.g., title, strata, council, and zoning).

• Advising on any restrictions, risks, or required adjustments.

• Liaising with the other parties, banks, and real estate agents.

• Preparing settlement details and finalising settlement.

• Registering the transfer of ownership.

We handle all of these steps on your behalf and keep you updated throughout, so you’re never left in the dark.

We offer clear, upfront pricing for our conveyancing services. Costs typically include:

• Professional fees for legal services.

• Disbursements, such as search fees or title registration fees.

• Stamp duty (if applicable), which varies depending on your purchase price and eligibility for state-specific concessions (e.g., first home buyer benefits).

If you're buying a residential property, most states in Australia have a mandatory cooling-off period after you sign the Contract for Sale. In New South Wales, for instance, buyers have five business days to either proceed with the purchase or withdraw from the contract (subject to a small termination penalty). However, the cooling-off period does not apply if the property is bought at auction.

The settlement timeframe is usually agreed upon in the Contract for Sale and is commonly set at 4–6 weeks after the exchange of contracts. During this period, we ensure everything is in place for a smooth transfer of ownership, including liaising with banks, resolving any outstanding conditions, and preparing settlement figures.

Buying "off the plan" involves purchasing a property that hasn’t yet been built or completed. While it can provide opportunities for capital growth, it also carries risks such as potential delays, changes in the final product compared to the original plan, or variations in market value. Our team will thoroughly review the contract and advise you on your rights and any risks before you commit.

On settlement day:

• Funds will be exchanged between the buyer, seller, and any relevant banks.

• You’ll officially become the legal owner of the property.

• The title will be transferred to your name and registered with the Land Titles Office.

While this might sound complex, we handle all the coordination to make sure your settlement goes smoothly.

Key searches generally include:

• Title searches to confirm ownership and restrictions.

• Council and zoning certificates to review council approvals and zoning regulations.

• Strata reports (if applicable) to outline strata fees, rules, and any potential issues.

• Authority searches, such as outstanding rates or notices that might affect your property.

These searches uncover any issues or liabilities that could impact you as the property’s new owner.

In some cases, yes, but it depends on the circumstances and the type of contract. For instance:

• During the cooling-off period, you can withdraw with a small penalty in most private sales.

• Outside the cooling-off period or in other situations, withdrawing may result in penalties or legal action.

We recommend you speak with us before withdrawing to understand your options and anything at stake.

A conveyancer specialises in property transactions and handles most routine buying and selling legalities. A solicitor, on the other hand, has broader legal qualifications and can assist with more complex property issues, such as disputes or tax advice. Our team includes both conveyancers and solicitors, so you get the best of both worlds based on your specific needs.
