Selling Property in Sydney
Preparing your property for sale starts with getting the legal documentation right.

Once contracts are exchanged, we manage the legal requirements through to settlement and keep you informed along the way.

Property Transfers Between Family Members
Not every property transfer involves a traditional sale. Ownership may need to change following a family arrangement, relationship change, estate planning decision or transfer between relatives.
Our lawyers can prepare and review the necessary documentation, advise on the legal requirements and manage the transfer and registration process. We can also identify when you may need separate tax, financial or other specialist advice before proceeding.

Urgent & After‑Hours Conveyancing
Property deadlines don’t always fall within standard business hours. If you’ve received a contract that needs urgent attention, you’re approaching an auction or an exchange deadline is approaching, our team offers conveyancing support outside standard office hours where available.
This can be particularly valuable when you need legal advice before making a time-sensitive property decision.
Need urgent assistance? Speak to our After-Hours Conveyancing Team.
Commercial Conveyancing
Commercial property transactions can involve additional contractual, taxation, leasing and due diligence considerations. We assist with the purchase and sale of commercial premises, including offices, retail properties and industrial property across Sydney and NSW.
Our lawyers can review and negotiate commercial property contracts, investigate title and property matters and manage the transaction through to settlement.

Contract Reviews
Before you sign a property contract, it’s important to understand the conditions, obligations and potential risks involved. Our property lawyers review contracts for residential and investment property purchases and provide clear advice on issues that may require further investigation or negotiation.
If you’re considering a property, we can review the contract before you make an offer, exchange contracts or attend an auction.

First-Home Buyer Conveyancing
Buying your first home can involve unfamiliar contracts, deadlines and legal terminology. We guide first-home buyers through each stage of the conveyancing process, explaining what needs to happen before exchange, what to expect during settlement and which issues deserve closer attention.
We can also help you understand the legal aspects of your purchase and how relevant NSW first-home buyer schemes may apply to your transaction.

The Conveyancing Process Explained
Contract Review
Before you sign or exchange contracts, we review the terms and explain your legal obligations, important conditions and any issues that may require further investigation or negotiation.
For buyers, an early contract review can help identify potential risks before you commit to purchasing the property.
Due Diligence and Searches
We conduct relevant property searches and due diligence to investigate matters that could affect the property, your ownership or its intended use.
Depending on the property and transaction, this may include:
- Title searches
- Council and planning information
- Zoning checks
- Easements and restrictions
- Water and sewer information
- Strata information, where applicable
We explain any significant findings and advise you if further investigation is recommended before proceeding.
Contract Exchange
Once the parties have agreed to the contract terms, signed contracts are exchanged and the transaction becomes legally binding, subject to any applicable cooling-off rights or negotiated conditions.
We manage the legal requirements surrounding exchange and ensure any agreed amendments or special conditions are properly documented.
Pre-Settlement Management
Between exchange and settlement, we manage the legal and administrative requirements needed to prepare the transaction for completion.
This can include liaising with the other party’s solicitor or conveyancer, your lender and relevant authorities, completing settlement documentation and confirming adjustments for rates, taxes and other applicable outgoings.
Settlement
Settlement is when the transaction is completed and legal ownership of the property transfers to the buyer.
We coordinate the settlement process, confirm that the required funds and documents are in place and notify you once settlement has been completed.
Common Conveyancing Questions
You can use either a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer for many conveyancing matters in NSW. Choosing a property lawyer means you can also receive legal advice where contractual issues, disputes or more complex legal matters arise during the transaction.
Eastside Legal provides lawyer-led conveyancing from contract review through to settlement.
Ideally, speak to a conveyancing lawyer before signing or exchanging a property contract. Early legal advice allows you to understand the contract, identify potential risks and negotiate amendments before you become legally committed.
If you’re buying at auction, arrange a contract review before auction day.
The timeframe varies depending on the contract and circumstances of the transaction. For many residential property purchases, settlement occurs several weeks after contracts are exchanged, although shorter or longer settlement periods can be negotiated.
Your lawyer can confirm the relevant dates and deadlines once the contract has been reviewed.
Yes. Eastside Legal provides fast contract reviews for property buyers, including clients working with short deadlines or preparing to bid at auction.
Send us your contract as early as possible so our property lawyers have time to review the terms, identify potential issues and advise you before you commit.
Our Sydney conveyancing services can include contract preparation or review, legal advice, negotiations, property searches and due diligence, exchange, pre-settlement preparation and settlement.
The exact work required depends on whether you’re buying, selling or transferring property and the circumstances of your transaction.
Both licensed conveyancers and solicitors can handle conveyancing transactions in NSW. A licensed conveyancer specialises in conveyancing work, while a solicitor has broader legal qualifications and can advise on legal matters beyond the scope of a standard property transfer.
The right choice depends on your transaction and the level of legal advice you may require.
