Fixed fees: residential conveyancing $1,850 + GST (purchase or sale), commercial from $2,500 + GST, property transfers from $1,500 + GST. Disbursements (Canterbury-Bankstown Council certificates, title search, PEXA settlement fee) are charged at cost and itemised in your written quote — no hidden extras and no per-call charges.
Bankstown currently has a house price above $1.2 million. Prices vary substantially by street, dwelling type, condition, and aspect — and South-Western Sydney markets can move quickly. We strongly recommend a written contract review before signing, comparing the contract terms against typical South-Western Sydney clauses we negotiate every week.
Bankstown is in the Canterbury-Bankstown Council LGA. The Section 10.7 (formerly 149) planning certificate, council rates notice, and zoning information are issued by Canterbury-Bankstown 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 South-Western Sydney 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.
If you are not an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you generally need Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval before exchanging contracts in Bankstown. Foreign buyers also pay an 8% additional foreign purchaser duty on top of standard NSW transfer duty, plus 5% additional foreign owner land tax. We coordinate with FIRB and ensure all surcharges are correctly calculated.
Yes, if you meet the eligibility criteria. As of 2026, NSW first home buyers pay no transfer duty on properties up to $800,000 and a concessional rate up to $1,000,000. With Bankstown's house price above $1.2 million, many established homes fall within concession range. We confirm eligibility and lodge the exemption form with Revenue NSW.
