Conveyancers for Australia - based in Sydney, New South Wales

Conveyancing is the legal work involved in transferring property ownership. It can include reviewing or preparing the Contract of Sale, arranging searches and documents, and coordinating the legal steps to settlement.

Costs can include professional fees, GST, government charges such as transfer duty and registration fees, PEXA charges, and search disbursements. Your written quote sets out the expected legal scope and likely third-party charges separately.

On settlement day, the balance of the purchase price is paid and the transaction is completed through the agreed settlement process. Aquarius Lawyers coordinates the legal documents, funds, and other parties involved in settlement for the scope of your matter.

The work may include reviewing or preparing the Contract of Sale, preparing and lodging required documents, arranging relevant searches, helping with transfer duty requirements, and coordinating settlement. The exact scope depends on your property and whether you are buying or selling.

You remain responsible for meeting your contractual obligations, including deposits, finance deadlines, pre-settlement inspections, and other conditions in the contract. We provide legal guidance on the contract, but you should keep track of the practical actions and dates that apply to you.

No. Aquarius Lawyers does not inspect a property or assess its physical condition. Arrange appropriate inspections and obtain advice from qualified building, pest, strata, or other relevant professionals before committing to the purchase.

You are responsible for arranging and carrying out your pre-settlement inspection. It is your opportunity to check that the property is in the condition required by the contract before settlement.

No. Building and pest reports are prepared by qualified inspectors, who are the appropriate professionals to answer questions about the property's condition. We can advise on the legal terms of your contract and the scope of our work.

Signing a contract creates legal obligations. Whether you can withdraw depends on the contract, applicable law, any cooling-off rights, and conditions such as finance or inspections. Seek legal advice promptly if you are considering your options.

It depends on the wording of the clause and the facts of your matter. A building and pest condition does not automatically allow termination for every defect or concern. Obtain legal advice before relying on a condition or taking any step to terminate.

That depends on whether your contract is subject to finance and whether its notice, evidence, and timing requirements are met. Contact Aquarius Lawyers as soon as finance becomes an issue, as contractual deadlines can be strict.

A cooling-off period is a limited time during which a buyer may be able to withdraw from a property purchase. Availability, length, and any financial consequences depend on the property, contract, and applicable law.

A deposit is commonly required under a Contract of Sale, but the amount and timing are set by the agreement between the parties. Check the contract carefully before signing and make sure you can meet the required payment date.
