Questions
What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership between parties, ensuring compliance with NSW regulations and protecting buyer/seller interests.
Why use a property lawyer?
Property transactions involve significant financial risks. Our accredited specialists identify contractual risks, negotiate terms, and ensure compliance to protect your investment.
What is the cooling off period?
In NSW, buyers can cancel contracts within 5 business days (unless waived or purchased at auction) to reconsider property purchases.
How long does conveyancing take?
Standard transactions take 6 weeks, allowing time for legal checks and finance arrangements, though timelines can be negotiated with proper planning.
What happens if settlement is delayed?
Either party can issue a 'Notice to Complete' allowing 14 days to settle. Persistent delays may result in contract termination or court action as per contractual terms.
