Fixed fees: residential conveyancing $1,850 + GST (purchase or sale), commercial from $2,500 + GST, property transfers from $1,500 + GST. Disbursements (Woollahra 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.
Vaucluse currently has a house price above $7.0 million. Prices vary substantially by street, dwelling type, condition, and aspect — and Eastern Suburbs markets can move quickly. We strongly recommend a written contract review before signing, comparing the contract terms against typical Eastern Suburbs clauses we negotiate every week.
Vaucluse is in the Woollahra Council LGA. The Section 10.7 (formerly 149) planning certificate, council rates notice, and zoning information are issued by Woollahra 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 Eastern Suburbs 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.
Many Vaucluse apartment buildings are 30–80 years old and face significant ongoing maintenance — waterproofing, concrete cancer, balcony rectification, fire safety, and lift upgrades. A strata report (around $250) reveals planned special levies, current sinking fund balance, owners corporation disputes, and approved capital works. We review it line by line as part of contract review.
Yes for private treaty sales — NSW provides a 5-business-day cooling-off period on residential purchases, allowing you to rescind for a 0.25% forfeit. Auction purchases have no cooling-off. In Vaucluse, where most prestige sales go to auction, we strongly recommend a pre-auction contract review so any required amendments are negotiated upfront.
