Conveyancing for NSW buyers,
from contract to keys.
We review your contract, run the searches, manage exchange and settle through PEXA. You'll know your price upfront and get updates at every step.
Start with a contract review

The seller's side writes the contract, and once you exchange you're bound by it. We flag risky clauses, explain your cooling-off rights and tell you what's worth negotiating.

Buyer questions
Common questions about buying property in NSW
Plain answers based on NSW Government guidance. Every situation is different, so we'll confirm what applies to yours.
When should I engage a conveyancer when buying?
Before you sign anything or exchange contracts, ideally as soon as you find a property you want. We can review the contract first so you know what you're agreeing to. See our contract review.
What does a conveyancer do for a buyer?
We review the contract, run the searches, explain your cooling-off rights, manage exchange, arrange any stamp duty payable and settle the purchase electronically.
How long is the cooling-off period in NSW?
For most residential purchases, 5 business days after exchange. Off-the-plan contracts have 10 business days. There's no cooling-off period when you buy at auction.
Do I have to pay stamp duty?
Most buyers pay transfer duty, worked out on the higher of the purchase price or the property's market value. First home buyers may be eligible for exemptions or concessions. Try our stamp duty calculator or read about first home buyer conveyancing.
Is settlement done electronically?
Yes. Cheques and paper documents are no longer needed for settlements in NSW. We settle through PEXA and keep you updated through to settlement.
Do you help buyers outside Sydney?
Yes. We're licensed NSW conveyancers and act for buyers across NSW. Everything can be done by phone, email and electronic signing.
Your situation
Buying your first home, or off the plan?
Both come with extra rules. We make sure you get every concession you're entitled to, and none of the risks you didn't sign up for.
First home buyer
We check your eligibility and apply for the concessions and grants on your behalf.
Off the plan
We check the risks a standard purchase doesn't have.
- Sunset clause dates
- Changes to the final build
- Deposit protection
