We safeguard your financial transaction. Every contract review, statutory land search, and easement certificate is audited page-by-page by experienced property solicitors.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get transparent answers regarding our conveyancing processes, timelines, and PEXA e-conveyancing protocols.

How much are NSW disbursements on top of the professional fee?

Disbursements vary with the property, searches, and official fees. A written quote should identify likely third-party charges separately from professional work; those charges can change when authorities update their schedules.

What is PEXA and why is it mandatory?

PEXA is Australia's secure digital property settlement platform. Under NSW land registry rules, nearly all land transactions must be executed digitally. Your lawyer can explain how funds, documents, and title updates are coordinated through settlement.

How early should I request a pre-purchase contract review?

As soon as you receive the contract from the real estate agent. Early review gives time to identify special conditions, easements, strata issues, or deadline pressure before you bid or make an offer.

Do you help first home buyers with government stamp duty forms?

Aquarius Lawyers can help first home buyers understand FHBAS eligibility questions and the declarations usually required by Revenue NSW.
