Your Trusted Conveyancing & Property Lawyers in Sydney

Conveyancing solicitors provide a range of services during a property purchase, including reviewing and negotiating the contract of sale, conducting property searches and title examinations, assisting with mortgage and finance arrangements, and coordinating and representing you at settlement. Having a solicitor protect your interests throughout the process is crucial to ensure a smooth and legally sound transaction.

In NSW, a licensed conveyancer can handle the legal aspects of property transactions, such as preparing and lodging documents, conducting searches, and attending settlement. However, a conveyancing lawyer can provide additional legal advice and represent you in court if needed. While both can handle conveyancing, lawyers have a broader scope of practice and qualifications.

A cooling-off period in NSW property transactions is a period of 5 business days after you exchange contracts, during which you have the right to withdraw from the purchase. This period applies to most residential property purchases but not to auctions or certain off-the-plan purchases. It’s essential to understand your rights during this period and seek legal advice if you are considering withdrawing from the purchase.

A conveyancer can assist you with various aspects of selling a property, including preparing the contract for sale, liaising with the buyer’s solicitor, and facilitating a smooth settlement. They handle the legal aspects of the sale, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and protecting your interests. Having a professional handle these matters can save you time and stress.

Commercial conveyancing involves the legal transfer of ownership for business-related properties, while residential conveyancing deals with properties used for residential purposes. Commercial conveyancing transactions are often more complex, involving larger sums of money, more intricate legal considerations, and specialised knowledge of commercial property law.

Commercial conveyancers provide services such as contract review, due diligence, lease negotiation, and settlement coordination. They have expertise in commercial property law and can protect your business interests throughout the transaction. Their knowledge of relevant regulations and market trends ensures a smooth and legally sound process.
