Fixed fees: residential conveyancing $1,850 + GST (purchase or sale), commercial from $2,500 + GST, property transfers from $1,500 + GST. Disbursements (Northern Beaches 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.
Freshwater currently has a house price above $3.0 million. Prices vary substantially by street, dwelling type, condition, and aspect — and Northern Beaches markets can move quickly. We strongly recommend a written contract review before signing, comparing the contract terms against typical Northern Beaches clauses we negotiate every week.
Freshwater is in the Northern Beaches Council LGA. The Section 10.7 (formerly 149) planning certificate, council rates notice, and zoning information are issued by Northern Beaches 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 Beaches 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.
Northern Beaches Council maintains a Coastal Management Program that maps coastal erosion, inundation, and recession hazard zones. Suburbs like Collaroy, Narrabeen, and parts of Manly Beach have specific overlays. We obtain the Section 10.7(2) certificate from Northern Beaches Council and review every coastal hazard note before exchange.
Yes — beachfront and ocean-view properties in Freshwater face accelerated wear on metal roofs, balcony rails, window frames, and concrete reinforcement. We strongly recommend a building inspection from an inspector experienced with coastal corrosion. For strata buildings, the strata report often reveals planned coastal-related capital works.
