Fixed-fee seller conveyancing in NSW,
starting with your contract of sale.
Your agent can't advertise your property until the contract is ready. A licensed NSW conveyancer prepares it, sends it straight to your agent, then handles everything through to settlement.
How it works
From listing to settlement in five steps
A licensed conveyancer handles your sale from the first draft of the contract to the day your funds are released, and keeps you updated along the way.

Common questions about selling in NSW
Plain answers based on NSW Government guidance. Every sale is different, so we'll confirm what applies to yours.
When should I contact a conveyancer about selling?
Before your property goes on the market. In NSW, a contract for sale must be prepared before a property is advertised. Get in touch when you choose your agent and we'll prepare your contract and send it straight to your agent.
What goes into a contract of sale?
The contract must include a title search, the registered plan and any dealings on the title (such as easements), a drainage diagram, a current section 10.7 planning certificate from your council and a statement of the buyer's cooling-off rights. If a required document is missing, the buyer may be able to cancel the contract within 14 days of exchange.
My property has a pool. What do I need?
You must attach one of the following: a valid certificate of compliance, an occupation certificate issued in the last 3 years together with evidence the pool is registered, or a valid certificate of non-compliance. This doesn't apply to a lot in a strata or community scheme with more than 2 lots, or to off-the-plan contracts.
Do sellers get a cooling-off period?
No. Once contracts are exchanged, you're legally bound to complete the sale. Buyers in a private sale generally have a 5 business day cooling-off period. There's no cooling-off period when a property is sold at auction.
What happens if the buyer pulls out during cooling-off?
A buyer who withdraws during the cooling-off period must pay you 0.25% of the purchase price, which is $250 for every $100,000. A buyer can also choose to waive their cooling-off rights by giving you a section 66W certificate.
How long does it take to settle?
Settlement typically happens 6 weeks after contracts are exchanged, although you and the buyer can agree on a different timeframe. All NSW settlements are completed electronically, and we settle through PEXA.
Your situation
Selling with a mortgage, or buying at the same time?
Both need careful timing. We line everything up so your settlement isn't held up.
Selling with a mortgage
Your lender needs to release the mortgage before the buyer can take title. We start early so it's ready on the day.
- Discharge authority lodged early
- Payout figures confirmed with your lender
- Settlement funds split correctly in PEXA
Selling and buying
One team for both contracts, so your sale and purchase work to the same timeline.
- Settlement dates coordinated
- Sale funds lined up for your purchase
- One point of contact throughout
