Fixed fees: residential conveyancing $1,850 + GST (purchase or sale), commercial from $2,500 + GST, property transfers from $1,500 + GST.

Ballina currently has a house price above $1.0 million. Prices vary substantially by street, dwelling type, condition, and aspect — and Northern Rivers markets can move quickly. We strongly recommend a written contract review before signing, comparing the contract terms against typical Northern Rivers clauses we negotiate every week.
Ballina is in the Ballina Shire Council LGA. The Section 10.7 (formerly 149) planning certificate, council rates notice, and zoning information are issued by Ballina Shire Council. We obtain all relevant council searches and review them as part of contract review — flagging zoning, heritage, flood, and bushfire overlays.
Standard NSW residential settlement is 42 days from exchange. Cash buyers can settle in 14–21 days. Off-the-plan and house-and-land contracts in Northern Rivers have deferred settlement (typically 12–24 months). We coordinate the bank, the seller's representative, and PEXA to deliver smooth settlement on the agreed date.
No. NSW conveyancing is now fully electronic via PEXA — every NSW lawyer or licensed conveyancer can act for you anywhere in NSW. Elyment Conveyancing handles Ballina matters from our Sydney office using PEXA digital settlement, electronic signing, and email contract review. You'll never need to visit our office.
For Northern Rivers properties we routinely check: flood planning level overlays on the Section 10.7 certificate, bushfire prone land mapping, coastal hazard zones (where applicable), septic / on-site wastewater compliance for properties not on town sewer, and any heritage or environmental zone restrictions. We provide a written contract review covering every relevant item before you exchange.
