A conveyancer is a licensed professional who manages the legal aspects of transferring property ownership. In NSW, conveyancers must hold a licence under the Conveyancers Licensing Act 2003. A conveyancer reviews contracts, conducts property searches, manages exchange of contracts, coordinates settlement, and registers the title transfer.

NSW conveyancing professional fees typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 depending on the transaction type and complexity. Elyment Conveyancing charges from $1,850 + GST for residential purchases and sales. On top of professional fees, disbursements (government search fees, PEXA fees, title registration) typically add $500–$1,200.

A licensed conveyancer in NSW specialises exclusively in property law and conveyancing, holding a specific Conveyancers Licence. A solicitor holds a broader legal practising certificate and may practise in many areas of law. For property transactions, a licensed conveyancer typically offers equal expertise at a lower cost than a general solicitor.

Standard NSW conveyancing searches include: title search, planning certificate (s10.7), sewer diagram, council rates certificate, water charges certificate, land tax clearance certificate, and strata report (for strata properties). Additional searches such as contamination searches, heritage searches, and PPSR searches may be required depending on the property.

Exchange is the point at which both parties are legally committed to the transaction. Each party signs a copy of the contract, the copies are exchanged (in person or electronically), and the buyer pays the deposit (usually 10%). In NSW, buyers of residential property have a 5 business day cooling-off period after exchange unless a Section 66W certificate is used to waive it.

In NSW, residential property buyers have a 5 business day cooling-off period starting from exchange. During this time, the buyer can rescind (cancel) the contract but must pay a 0.25% penalty of the purchase price. The cooling-off period does not apply to auction purchases or where both parties have signed a Section 66W certificate.
