Buying and selling property in NSW.
Buying or selling property involves significant legal and financial commitments. The contract for sale sets out the terms of the transaction and contains important information about the property.
We assist with reviewing and preparing contracts, advising on legal issues affecting the property, negotiating appropriate terms and managing the conveyancing process through to settlement.
Conveyancing can involve searches and enquiries, exchange, transfer duty, adjustments, settlement documentation and electronic settlement.
Strata
Additional due diligence for strata property.
Buying a strata property involves additional considerations because ownership generally includes both an individual lot and an interest in common property.
Before purchasing, it is important to consider the contract, strata plan, by-laws and available strata records and reports. Read our guide to strata title and community title in NSW.
Strata records may reveal information about levies, insurance, building defects, planned works, disputes and the financial position of the owners corporation.
