A property purchase is the biggest transaction most families make. Solicitor-led conveyancing means the contract is reviewed properly before you sign - and if anything legal arises around the transaction, the same people simply deal with it, without handing you off.

## Before you sign - the moment that matters

The common traps in a purchase are avoidable when the contract is reviewed early: unfavourable conditions, title issues, unapproved works, and timing failures around finance or settlement. Send us the contract before you sign - it is the single best time to involve us.

## Clear fees, electronic settlement

We give you a written quote covering our costs and the disbursements (searches, certificates) before you engage us, and we tell you straight away if anything changes. Settlements run through PEXA, the national e-conveyancing platform.

## How we can help

- Residential purchases and sales, contract review before signing
- Commercial property transactions
- Off-the-plan purchases
- PEXA electronic settlement
- Related advice - estates, family arrangements, disputes

## Common questions

### Do I need a solicitor or a conveyancer to buy a house in NSW?

Both can handle a standard conveyance. The difference: a solicitor can also deal with anything legal that arises around the transaction - disputes, complex conditions, estates, family arrangements - without handing you off. For most people the cost difference is small; the safety margin is not.

### How much does conveyancing cost in NSW?

Fees vary with the property and the transaction. We give you a written quote before you engage us, covering our costs and the disbursements (searches, certificates), and we tell you straight away if anything changes.

### What can go wrong when buying a property?

The common traps: unfavourable contract conditions, title issues, unapproved works, and timing failures around finance or settlement. Most are avoidable when the contract is reviewed before you sign - that is the single best time to involve us.
