NSW Conveyancing FAQs
-
Yes. You should obtain advice before signing because once the contract is signed you are legally bound, and your ability to negotiate or withdraw becomes more limited. Early advice allows risks and key terms to be identified before commitment.
-
In most residential transactions, a five business day cooling-off period applies after exchange. During that period there may be a limited right to withdraw, usually subject to a financial consequence, so the timing and application should be understood before signing.
-
A 66W Certificate waives cooling-off rights. Once provided, the purchaser is immediately bound to proceed without the benefit of a cooling-off period, so it should only be signed once the contract has been reviewed properly and the risks are clearly understood.
-
The Contract for Sale sets out the legal rights and obligations relating to the property. Before signing, it should be reviewed for title issues, restrictions, special conditions and financial and timing obligations so any risks can be addressed before commitment.
-
A strata report gives insight into the building and scheme, including financial records, levies, building defects, upcoming works, by-laws and restrictions. Reviewing it before signing allows risks to be identified early.
-
Settlement timeframes are agreed in the contract and vary depending on the transaction. The important point is that the dates and requirements are monitored closely so the matter progresses toward settlement in accordance with what has been agreed.
-
In NSW, a Contract for Sale must be prepared before a property is marketed. This includes the required title searches and prescribed documents, and failure to have a compliant contract in place can delay the sale process.
-
A caveat may be lodged where there is a recognised interest requiring protection, such as in financial arrangements, family law matters or beneficial ownership situations. Accuracy and timing are critical because the caveat affects dealings with the property.
-
Yes, however these transactions require careful structuring. Key considerations include stamp duty, often based on market value, existing loans or mortgages, and compliance with legal and registration requirements so the transfer is effective and enforceable.
-
Yes. The document specifically refers to complex and urgent NSW matters, including off-the-plan and development contracts, probate and deceased estate transfers, family law property arrangements and urgent or time-sensitive transactions.
-
We take complete carriage of the matter, including contract review, legal risk identification, advice before you are locked in, negotiation of amendments where needed, dealing with agents, brokers and lenders, monitoring deadlines and coordinating electronic settlement through PEXA.
-
Yes. The same document also identifies related NSW content topics such as registering a commercial lease on title, caveats, display contracts and broader title-based matters, which supports a wider role in specialist registrations and investigations beyond a standard residential purchase or sale.
You're probably wondering...
Do I need to speak with you before signing anything?
Yes — ideally before signing the contract, or as soon as you receive it. We regularly see clients commit before understanding:
• Contract risks • Tenancy issues • Strict deadlines
Can everything be done remotely?
Yes. All transactions, communication and identity verification can be completed electronically. There is no requirement to attend our office.
Do you offer a fixed fee?
Yes. Our fees are structured and clearly provided upfront. We focus on:
• Fast turnaround • Clear written advice • Managing the process through to settlement
What happens if I’ve already signed the contract?
You may still have options depending on timing. In some matters:
• Cooling-off rights may still apply • Urgent advice is required immediately
Do you act in my best interests?
Yes — always. We act independently and often:
• Identify risks • Request amendments • Push back where required
What do you actually do for me?
We take complete carriage of your matter, ensuring nothing is missed, delayed or overlooked.
• Contract Review • Risk Identification • Pre-Contract Advice • Amendments Negotiation • Stakeholder Management • Compliance Monitoring • Settlement
