WHAT IS CONVEYANCING?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property from one party to another. It encompasses everything from the initial review and preparation of the contract of sale through to the final settlement of the transaction. While the basic concept is straightforward, the legal and financial details involved can be complex, and errors or oversights can have serious consequences for buyers and sellers alike.


In NSW, the conveyancing process is governed by a range of legislation, including the Conveyancing Act 1919, the Real Property Act 1900 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, among others. A qualified solicitor will ensure that all legal requirements are met, that your interests are protected throughout the process and that settlement occurs on time.

WHAT OUR CONVEYANCING SERVICES INCLUDE

At Longman Hill, our conveyancing service is comprehensive. We handle all aspects of the transaction on your behalf, including:

  • Reviewing and preparing contracts of sale to ensure that all terms are fair, accurate and in your best interests before you sign anything.
  • Conducting property searches to identify any encumbrances, easements, zoning issues, outstanding rates or other matters that could affect your use or ownership of the property.
  • Liaising with banks, lenders and other parties to coordinate the financial aspects of the transaction and ensure that all conditions are met prior to settlement.
  • Attending to settlement, whether in person or electronically via the PEXA platform, to ensure that the transfer of title and funds occurs correctly and on time.
  • Advising on stamp duty and other government fees and charges so that you have a clear understanding of the full cost of your transaction before proceeding.
  • Assisting with the transfer of title and registration of the new ownership with NSW Land Registry Services.
  • We also assist with conveyancing matters involving auctions, off-the-plan purchases, rural and agricultural properties, strata units and vacant land. Whatever the nature of your property transaction, our team has the knowledge and experience to manage it effectively.

BUYING A PROPERTY

If you are buying a property, it is important to have a solicitor review the contract of sale before you sign. The contract contains important terms and conditions that can have significant implications for you as a buyer, and in many cases there is room to negotiate amendments before exchange. Our solicitors will review the contract carefully, advise you on any areas of concern and recommend any amendments that should be made to protect your interests.


We will also carry out the necessary property searches, advise you on the results, and prepare you for what to expect on settlement day. Our goal is to ensure that you arrive at settlement with complete confidence that everything is in order.

SELLING A PROPERTY

If you are selling a property, we will prepare the contract of sale, ensure that all required disclosure documents are included and manage the process through to completion. In NSW, a vendor must have a contract of sale prepared before the property is listed for sale or auction, so it is important to engage a solicitor early in the process.


Our team will ensure that your contract complies with all legislative requirements, that your obligations as a vendor are clearly understood and that the transaction proceeds to a timely and successful settlement.
