Conveyancing Services in Newcastle
Buying Property
Buying a home is exciting but it can feel complex. We guide you from offer to settlement so you know what to do at every step.
We review the contract in plain language, explain any risks, order the right searches, and manage key dates like cooling off and finance approval. We liaise with your lender and the agent so documents move on time and you avoid last minute stress.
You will know what to check at the final inspection and what happens on settlement day. The goal is simple. A safe purchase, no surprises, and clear communication from start to finish.
Selling Your Property
Selling well starts with a strong contract. We prepare your contract for sale with the prescribed NSW documents, respond to buyer enquiries, and negotiate changes that protect you.
We keep the timeline on track, manage adjustments for rates and water, and coordinate your discharge of mortgage.
On settlement day we confirm funds and key handover with the agent. You get clear updates and practical advice so you can sell with confidence.
Contract Review
Before you sign, let us translate the legal detail into simple terms. We review special conditions, easements, covenants, and strata by laws.
You get a short list of suggested changes to reduce risk, improve time frames, and protect your deposit. We can negotiate with the agent or the seller’s solicitor on your behalf.
The aim is to help you sign a contract that suits your goals and budget.
Strata Title Conveyancing
Strata purchases need a closer look. We check the strata records, levies, special levies, insurance, building defects, and by laws that affect how you can use the property.
We explain the minutes in simple terms so you understand the culture of the building and any planned works. You will know the real cost of ownership and any rules that may impact pets, renovations, or parking.
Off the Plan Purchases
Buying off the plan carries unique risks. We explain sunset dates, plan changes, finishes and inclusions, and what happens if completion is delayed. We review the contract for fair time frames and clear buyer rights.
During construction we monitor notices, finance milestones, and settlement timing so you are ready when the property is complete.
Auction Conveyancing
There is no cooling off at auction. Be ready with a reviewed contract, checks complete, and a clear bidding limit. We handle the pre auction review, flag risks, and request changes from the seller so you can bid with confidence.
If you win, we help with a smooth post auction process and settlement.
First Home Buyer Conveyancing
We make your first purchase easy to understand. We map out each step, explain costs in advance, and help you apply for any eligible NSW grants or duty concessions.
You get a simple timeline, a checklist for your bank, and regular updates. No question is too small and we take care to explain everything in plain language.
Electronic Settlement with PEXA
There is no cooling off at auction. Be ready with a reviewed contract, checks complete, and a clear bidding limit. We handle the pre auction review, flag risks, and request changes from the seller so you can bid with confidence.
If you win, we help with a smooth post auction process and settlement.
Transfers and Title Changes
We manage transfers between family members, adding or removing a spouse, and updates after a death.
We prepare and lodge the right forms, calculate duty where needed, and register the changes on title. You get clear guidance on documents and time frames.
Rural and Vacant Land
Land deals need targeted checks. We look at access rights, services, water licences, environmental overlays, and any planned road or council works.
For vacant land we review building controls and developer guidelines so you can plan with clarity.
